Pros

Competitive pay, not stuck at a desk, lots of personal interactions. Team members are friendly and there is a lot opportunities for promotions if one is motivated enough.

Cons

Felt like high school. Managers constantly talking about one another and putting down executives. Retail hours. Poor work-life balance. Many employees resembled zombies due to lack of sleep.

Pros

If you are looking for a job that you’ll be a part of a fun team environment, have the ability to learn all about customer “guest” service, retail operations and sales, as well as merchandising even at entry level great opportunity. for such a large corporation I have been pleasantly surprised by how tight knit teams are. applying was okay, there were multiple steps (videos, assessments) but overall not too bad)., phone call and then video questions before hiring.

Cons

Pay isn’t great, but for the market it’s fair. Moving up involves a much larger increase in responsibilities and workload relative to the pay increase.
