Pros

I learned a lot about the fashion and the fashion industry, for example, I learned the proper names of materials and fabrics, i learned how to dress a mannequin and how to do floor sets.

Cons

I was constantly on my feet, and although the pay and hours weren't ideal, I was good at what I did, I loved my job and anyone could tell, but unfortunately, if you weren't a brown noser, your talent and work ethic was over looked. i felt unappreciated at that place. There was no room for me to progress because I wasn't a kiss up.

Pros

Onsite cafeteria with affordable and nutrient balanced food, including vegetarian options. Onsite Starbucks and smoothie counter. People are nice and helpful. Many transferring opportunities.

Cons

The pay is already terrible, on top of that, they hire mostly temps at HQ to save costs. Parking lot is very far, but for the most part, there is a shuttle to transport people. It's takes 10-15 minutes just to get from the parking structure to HQ. Favoritism is common.

Pros

You can learn a lot from all the chaos and it can build you as a manager. There's a ton of opportunity for growth.

Cons

The chaos may break you. Long hours. Unpredictable. High turnover with both management and employees. High expectations from upper management.
