Pros

50% discount off everything & 30% off sale, 70% and 50% off sale if you're employee of the month. Pretty chill company to work for. Get free stuff every now and then (pins, shirts for holidays, free shoes every year you Work for them) they give you a free pair of shoes and 2 or 3 shirts when you first start. Managers are pretty flexible with scheduling conflicts and working around school schedule.

Cons

No cons honestly. Just do your job and you won't have any problems.

50% off shoes and apparel, pretty chill job and management is pretty laid back but still motivating for the most part.

Cons

Not the best pay and retail hours aren't the best but that's pretty expected for a retail mall job. But overall a nice place to work
