Pros

There's a lot of opportunities to use your creative talents. You get to see the latest clothes that come in and you learn about fashion. It's a fun relaxed environment. It has great products that you really can't find anywhere else.

Cons

The first manager was not good and mean sometimes but she was fired. She was very uptight and made you feel inferior and bad about yourself.

Pros

Freedom with visual merchandising, no planograms. Great experience for resumes, allowing even lower management to conduct interviews and communicate with upper management. Good with trying to promote from within. 30% discount. Company allows outside activity, including fashion shows and after hour parties. Great people to meet.

Cons

Sub-par salary. Terrible upper management (district). Bonuses are a joke, often being rewarded in gift cards. Communicating during employment with HR is great, but when you leave don't even think about trying to get in touch with anyone from corporate for any reason. Low standards for some positions, unreasonably high for others. High turnover due to 40+ hour work weeks for part time managers. Low security leading to high shrink, as a result leading to hell for employees. Too much to even mention. Wasn't considered for Store Manager because of my age, although the girl who eventually got the position is the same age I was. Key holder and above, prepare to come in every day off you have.
