Pros
good promotion opportunities, beautiful childrenswear and some home merchandise, some nice co-workers, in some stores good customer service training.
Cons
constantly cutting every employee benefit, giving random hours (short shifts not worth coming in for), cutting breaks, giving very little contract hours, then calling on the day and pressuring to take up shifts - as a result you have no life what so ever, because they will make you drop any plans you made to come to work at last moment. No choice in shifts, horrible mess in management - they put people down for shifts on the rota and don't inform them, then give them disciplinaries for not coming to work. Store and Operations Managers demand completely unreasonably high efficiency that threatens the health and well-being of the workers, you will always be frustrated, because there is no chance what so ever of ever reaching a target - sales or operations. Training is ridiculous - the videos seem to be suitable for mentally retarded people only. You feel like you are in a comma - every day is just running and running and running - no time to think, develop, improve, or God forbid innovate. No place for a thinking human being, hated it.
