Perfect temporary job, though not the most professional career path

Pros

Low volume, small stores. Freedom with visual merchandising - every store is unique. Bonus program when monthly plan is met (40-80 cents per hour you work per month extra). Bonus program with stretch plan is met ($50 store gift cards). Growing company.

Cons

Low compensation. Employee discount is mediocre - Company offers no special discounts for employees but one day out of the year for Christmas. Rules, procedures, and expectancies are set in place for all store managers and staff, just like any company. If you have a manager that breaks any of these rules, do not expect appropriate results from HR, even with the best RD. Good temporary job, though not for over-achievers unless you are a store manager, as they get all of the credit (and are compensated for it). As expected, with a company run completely by women, there's more talk and less action. Prepare to experience catty behavior.

Pros

There's a great group of girls at every store (from what it seems like). The girls at my store have become my family and I hate to see them leave! Low turnover. The pay is fair. It has been a great experience so far. The discount is awesome as well.

Cons

The only downside is the hours. Corporate allocates how many hours each store may utilize for the week and it varies strongly so my hours sometimes vary anywhere from 15-30 per week. Unless you are a Boutique Manager you are not allowed to work 40 hours, which isn't a big deal. Monthly bonuses and rewards are available to stores that reach certain goals.
