Pros

Lots of down time Great customers Flexibility to be creative

Cons

I began at giggle with 5 years of retail experience as a part-time sales lead at $11 an hour and got a $1 raise when I became full-time. I was in college and took a lot of pride in my job and I put it before school, switching to all online courses to allow a more flexible work schedule. My first bosses were total jokes with no education or customer service skills. But I loved the concept and the product so I stayed. They were soon fired as were the district managers. I was offered the position of Assistant Manager and was thrilled. However, the charm quickly faded when I realized my pay was far below what they had paid anyone in my position before. My new manager chalked it up to me being the youngest manager in the company. I put it aside, worked hard, graduated from college Summa Cum Laude and received no recognition by the company. Soon my manager left for maternity leave and I was left to run the store. No raise, no instruction, no help. I was basically told I was still the assistant and nothing changed despite having no manager above me and taking on all of the responsibilities of the store manager. I left giggle and 3 months later it closed. I had recommended an outstanding young gentlemen in college to fill my position, they declined. So in total, working hard at this company does nothing. If you are young and a hard worker, they don't care, if you sell they don't care. It doesn't make any sense and I expect many store closing in the future.
