Pros

*Solid hard-working managers. Particularly the store manager and vice store manager are both hard workers that participate in the management of the store alongside sales and stock associates. * Reasonably flexible scheduling. So long as you schedule the days you want off 3 weeks in advance, those days will be off no questions asked (give or take inventory, but that can be worked around too) * Respects callouts from work if needed

Cons

* Stressful and overwhelming on weekends with the high influx of customers. Even stock associates become sales associates on the weekends. * High level of callouts. Most employees are college-aged, so there will be frequent callouts

Pros

A company that is incredibly involved with its community and offers its customers a chance to explore the outdoors with the best merchandise you can receive in the market. As an in-store Visual Merchandiser, I prioritized ensuring we were marketing for each type of customer who shops at the store and they allowed me to have creative freedom which is very rare in this field surprisingly. The culture of the employees is amazing. I highly recommend following this career path if it truly speaks to you.

Cons

The North Face tends to hire within the company, with that said, I was not paid nearly enough of what I deserved for the work me and the visual team offered the company. I was regularly told I would get a promotion, and receive certain benefits, and I was especially told I would move up the ladder and reach a point where you'd create directives company-wide.
