Pros

Great benefits for full time employees. Awesome discount across all brands under the "umbrella". At the start of my career with them I felt like they inspired creativity and self expression. There was a lot of brand pride within the company. Laid back comfortable work environment. They respect your time off.

Cons

There tends a disconnect and lack of communication between the management and the staff. A lot of demands made by corporate with a lack of knowledge of how things are actually run in their retail environments. Opportunity for growth was a large part of the reason I took the job and that opportunity has yet to present it self. It appears to be very difficult to make the jump from retail to corporate no matter how hard you work. Retail environments tend to lack professionalism.

Pros

Opportunities for growth and great benefits.

Cons

Management is so incredibly catty. There's drama every month, not just between associates, but mostly with management and leadership. The store manager is also good friends with the district manager so if you had any HR violations with her it wouldn't be taken seriously and they would just laugh about it in their video calls. So many HR violations have been made here its not even funny. I recommend the company as well as Nike who owns them but do yourself a favor and stay away from the Philadelphia Premium Outlets location.
