Pros

Learned a lot about supply chain and how things run.

Cons

Favoritism is a huge problem. You are given piles of work but your pay never increases. No room for growth.

Pros

The store is a great environment to work at. The vibe is more laid back than most stores. You get a free pair a sneaker, 2 shirts, and great discounts.

Cons

Hours suck! Store opened for a month and I was given one day to work for 4 hours. It was okay that they fired me because they hired to much staff, but the manager FORGOT to call and let me know. So I called the store for 5 weeks asking if I worked not knowing I was fired.

Pros

meeting really cool people throughout the store as far as associates and customers

Cons

at the south bay galleria there is a great list of cons. Terrible hours, call-in system sucks and restricts employee's day greatly, tyrannical management, no creative allowance, poor training, no opportunity for advancement until you've hit at least 3 years of experience within the company, and no concern for outside obligations (I have kids and have been subjected to 4 hours a week for long stretches of time), no respectable leadership (managers tell you to get off your phone and get to work while they sit and text in your face, and thats just to name a few.
