Pros

Not having a plan o gram; being able to do visuals on our own and use our knowledge of our business to merchandise the store. It's a great place to learn the aspects of small business and get your feet wet in the fashion industry during college. 50% off for managers really great discount. Benefits rocked.

Cons

There is absolutely no work/home life balance. It can be very exhausting trying to recruit for lower level positions due to the low pay and lack of support from field leadership. Home office was very unorganized and there was always an issue or delay when looking for a response from HR or anyone at corporate. There also was a major lack of communication between upper management and the stores. There was no consistancy which made the team members very upset and confused when it came to expectations. There are not clear guidelines but management and stores still get reprimanded and have bad visits from field leadership regardless. There is an open door policy but that's not actually the case. You cannot express your opinions or concerns because field leadership doesn't want to hear it.

Pros

Flexibility, great community, growth opportunities, supportive executives

Cons

Nothing about the business. Liquidation and closure of the brand was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do.
