Pros

The discount is insane, atmosphere is laid back, job is easy, meet cool people, learn ALOT!

Cons

Unfortunately it all depends on the store and the management, I worked at a top notch store where everything was A+ got moved to work at another store to help fix it, improved sales, overall growth, employee training, but some times there is management that don’t follow rules.

Pros

-Awesome, passionate people. -Really good discount and lots of free stuff. -They invest in employees so you will learn everything about running a store. -Get to wear a lot of hats so valuable experience doing lots of things. -Customer focused atmosphere so there is nothing you can't do to help people.

Cons

-If you want to go beyond the store level, it probably won't happen. There is more of an appearance of upward movement than there much evidence of it. -Never enough payroll to get things done unless you are comping like crazy. -SMs should expect to work over 50 hours a week regularly to meet store standards. -"What have you done lately" mentality.
