Pros

My pay was pretty competitive because I negotiated but I know other store managers who were running teir 4 stores who were only making a little over $20. That's sad.

Cons

Favoritism was extremely bad in my market. The company has so many rules or procedures and only a select few are required to follow them. As a store manager I wasn't able to give documentation when people broke the rules and was always told "it's a process" when dealing with issues involving someone my district manager liked. Discount is only 10%. Micro managed by the company. Forced to participate in contest (w/no reward) that were basically extra busy work when time could be spent doing other things. Very unrealistic expectations. Corporate is very unorganized and they never consider what may be going on at the store level before placing demands.

Pros

Quick advancement with the turnover being so high. Affordable clothing that changes often with the seasons.

Cons

Definitely not somewhere one should want to end up (at least not currently). People work there for years and years and can stay an associate. I never wanted to leave a review of my time here because it wasn't always pleasant, but occasionally I'll get notifications that reviews have been left on the company, and after constantly reading I felt it was time to speak up.
