Pros

you get money ( a dismal 7.50 an hour), You meet cool people who will all join together in looking for work somewhere else! I quit over 2 weeks ago so I no longer work there

Cons

there is no room to grow in forever 21 1: cashiering is a "promotion" but you still get the $7.50 a sales associate makes. Note: you get all the responsibilities of a cashier. 2:The managers( there are about 5 or 6) don't communicate well with each other one says " take it down " an another is right behind her saying " what are you doing put it back up!". They are rude and condescending, the main manager... well lest just say you see her once in a blue moon and all she does is complain. 3: a lady was laid off because she was pregnant and couldn't be walking around with boxes. 4: they always muck up on schedules because they don't pay attention to the availability you placed on your application. 5: there is only one schedule binder and over 300 active employees. If they even have it out on time or they can even find it its takes years to be able to get in line to copy it down. 6: you stay late at closing because even if your not done with your section you have to stay and help in a section that you don't even know.. but you don't get paid over time. They tell you to clock out and in so its "the next work day" & you get 30 min lunch brake and the food court is literally at the other end of the mall, 1-4 min to clock out if a managers not using the one of the only 2 computers you can use to clock out and in. 8.45 min walk to the food court, 7 min in line to order and wait for food 8.45 min to walk back now how much time do you have to actually rest and eat? yeah not much of a break. Oh also you have to clock out at brakes. cheap asses 7: the brake room in stocked with boxes and you can't properly find a place to sit and eat your meal even if you took your lunch from home or not. 9:the fact that this job sucked even more than working at the palm tree nursery and I took the time to write this speaks volume's of how crap it is to work there there are a lot of other sucky things but I just don't want to write more and don't even get me started on all the labor laws they break.Io!
