Pros

-50% discount for managers -visual merchandising freedom -relative freedom in hiring team members -opportunities to help open new locations -decent pay -bonus structure was excellent, if your store could meet, or exceed plan

Cons

-loss prevention is non-existent, and manager suggestions are not heard -managers are expected to create monthly events to drive sales without any budget for marketing, etc -little productive contact with district and regional managers -overuse of conference calls that were supposed to remedy sales situations, etc but were merely chit-chat and a waste of time -felt much like a sorority, not a business -when understaffed, district manager provided little to no assistance in coverage or recruiting

Pros

This company promotes from within, very diverse, and allows managers to have visual freedom.

Cons

They spread themselves and team too thin, because they dont pay enough, dont allow hours for managers to staff the floor and training is poor. You really have to be self sufficient
