Pros

You learn a lot about the trends and what not in fashion world. Great morning meetings that all everyone to get to know each other and more information about the products.

Cons

Training needs to be a little more in depth. Compensation should be higher for the amount of work that is done. Managers need to be a little more supportive and encouraging when receiving shipment and filing in stock rooms. Head office only communicates to managers and merchandisers when they should really be also thanking the rest of the staff.

Pros

They teach you great work ethics. They make you know the value of hard work. It's a team effort to reach quota so you don't have to hound down customers like you're competing with your co-workers. They provide you with a suit, and they set a hygiene standard so you learn to be clean at work. They have an excellent management system compared to other major retailers. They rarely mess up your scheduling, and there are forms that you can fill to officially request days off. There's 2 weeks vacation pay per yr.

Cons

They make you work very hard sometimes. Depending on the store, most stock rooms are the dustiest places I've ever been. They don't schedule enough staff on the floor during busy days that it almost becomes impossible to keep up with your responsibilities. Sometimes they make you focus on maintaining the floor and keeping things in order that customers get neglected. There were definitely a lot of customer complaints because of this problem.
