      Pros

      has good discount. cool coworkers. cool clothes.

      Cons

      Terrible pay it’s the most minimum wage ever. Last minute changes to schedule by manager with no consideration of people’s schedules outside of work. Expects the absolute most for little pay. Have to tell people about surveys constantly. Store is incredibly small and leaves no room for shipment boxes nor room on sales floor for items.

      Pros

      Coworkers and culture were definitely the pros of the job.

      Cons

      Mall setting and corporate policies made things unenjoyable. If this place could be franchised and not in a mall with so many other types of people would be much more ideal.

      Pros

      Unstressful by retail standards, with mostly flexible and understanding managers.

      Cons

      District manager quality was poor. Poor hours. Opportunities for growth are not based on existing experience.
