Pros

Forever 21 was my first official job, outside of summer jobs that i have held before starting here! The people that I worked with on the daily basis that were on the floor with me everyday were helpful and you could always find someone to help or take a shift if needed.

Cons

Most of the managers were not helpful. The managers would sit in their office and monitor the store by the surveillance cameras in the office. It took forever for a manager to come and assist if an associate was at the register and had an issue with the register or needed a manager for assistance with a customer. I started as a normal Sales Associate and was there for a year and a few months before I left. When my year came I was due for a raise, I knew the raise wouldn't be a lot but not only did I receive a raise that was only a few pennies more from what I started, they also were giving me task that were not in my job description and when I asked or looked to apply for a promotion I was declined and not given and adequate answer as to why. Which is part of the reason why I left.
