Pros

Health benefits are good. Better in retail, and you would have Union to protect the retail workers. Once moving backstage/corporate it's a whole different story.

Cons

Management is very poor, lots of them micromanage. Growth is minimal and salary is low. Raises are very minimal and when given it's not even a raise. Too many levels of upper management, and you need to phase away the poor management and methodology. HR doesn't protect their employees, they sound like they do when you have issues. Ultimately management and HR work together to get rid of employees. SMH. Spent over 10 years here working retail then moving to corporate, a complete waste of time. They dont appreciate what you do for the company.

Pros

Friendly and helpful colleagues, weekly pay and flexible schedule

Cons

When it is busy, it is very busy. Lunch/Break may get pushed back or even denied in extreme cases because there is no one to cover for you.
