Pros

They are so great at scheduling around school and other obligations. They hire some really team members. I usually felt valued and supported in my decisions and was given a lot of autonomy. Most of my coworkers were fun to work with, and my input about hiring decisions of seasonal workers was taken into consideration. I was always treated with respect.

Cons

The wages are very low and the hourly cap at some stores is set at $11 per hour. In have never seen such piddly raises, all while be told how well the store is doing in sales. I disliked the Disney-type atmosphere and being made to feel guilty for not acting giddy all the time. It did take me a while to accept that some people are motivated by coloring contests and posters, etc. Their new Vibe program (writing good things about yourself and posting them) is an ineffective motivational tool. It has been relaunched 3 different times now. We also went 6 months without any apparel team leader, and so far, one month without an executive overseeing apparel either.
