Pros

My co-workers were the only thing that got me through this job. Genuinely some of the best people I have ever met. They kept me sane through my time there.

Cons

-Management loves to understaff (or can't keep them because they treat them horribly) and then sit in their offices upstairs and never help. This might have also just been the location I was at in OR. -Specially the visual merchandising team is extremely overwhelmed with the workload. But are always the first ones to cover the register for 3+ hours. Then management will be upset when tasks and not completed. -You are expected to have complete availability and can make no changes. There is no consideration toward the employee and their life outside work. -After a year of being short-staffed and overworked they gave out a letter saying we would have layoffs. And that no one would be getting a raise BUT management would be getting their bonuses at the end of the year. -There is no room for growth within the store I worked at. They refuse to be higher up within the store they will always be higher outside the company. Then ask other employees to train the new hire. -They show you a video at the beginning of your first day asking you to no build a union. Giving out false information about unions and how they help workers. That should tell you a lot about the company...
