      Pros

      Encounter a lot of great coworkers who become friends for life. Recognition for work ethic.

      Cons

      Negative criticism when unrealistic expectations aren’t met. Will work you like a dog for minimum wage. Raises aren’t common.

      I have been working at Pacific Sunwear part-time

      Pros

      The people I work with are incredible, I feel so well taken care of. I had very poor expectations as it was a corporate job, but the work environment was really great. Very relaxed work environment, they listen to their employees, one of the better work place environments I’ve been in. I’d recommend working here, but definitely get a second job if you can’t get full time. It’s more of pocket money if you get part time, I ended up needing to live off my savings for a little.

      Cons

      The pay is minimum wage, which if you’re doing part time and providing for yourself just isn’t substantial. The work itself is low energy and not very stimulating whether you’re doing recovery on the floor, register, fitting rooms, or shipment. Sometimes management struggles with being direct, I think out of sensitivity. So if you’ve done something wrong, they won’t always immediately tell you, and if they do, sometimes it’s in a round about way.

      Negative Outlook

      I worked at Pacific Sunwear part-time for less than a year

      Pros

      There's an employee discount, which is good if you like shopping at PacSun.

      Cons

      The location I worked at had bad management and also was apparently one of the worst performing locations and it was not hard to believe. I had to work long hours even off the clock while making bare minimum wage while my coworkers would often slack off and the employee who was appointed to lead and close with us would just be on her phone relaxing while giving orders. Overall terrible experience, but hopefully that was just my location.

      Store manager is lazy and expects both ASMs to do a 3 person job Minimum wage is paid to all sales associates then are expected to do so much DM turnover caused us to go from a caring DM that let us have creative energy in our store to one that micromanaged us and expected 100 sign offs a day.
