Pros

The discount is nice. You get a lot of great customers that repeatedly stop in and build relationships with. New merchandise daily. The stores are nice sizes and offer a variety of different styles.

Cons

In no way are you getting paid enough for the amount of work you'll end up doing. Upper management will criticize your store without offering any helpful suggestions on how to fix any problem they find. No room for advancement unless someone quits. I was sexually harassed and it was swept under the rug. If your manager or assistant manager want to take a vacation/leave during the time you have put in for leave they can choose to give themselves the time off over you no matter how long you requested your days off. Managers and assistant managers can choose to stay in the stockroom their entire shift and not help you out on the floor even when it's insanely busy. The staff changes a lot due to people becoming unhappy with their jobs. They don't give you any kind of feedback if you're doing a great job or any reward for excelling in your numbers. They offer negative feedback frequently however.

Pros

I didn't really see any pros. Most DM'S are new and incompetent of doing their job. If you're looking for a job to pass time as just an associate ok. If you are looking for that first "SM" (this was not my first SM position I thought I wanted to grow to DM) job to put on your resume go for it.......then run!

Cons

Constant sugar coating of a poor product. You have to wear their tacky jewelry on the clock with the price tags hanging out so customers think your crazy.
