        Pros

        - flexible hours - co-workers are nice - the discount is good !! you get 60% off 6 UO brand items per month then 40 off after/if those 60s are all used then 25% off home and beauty - pretty lenient compared to other retail stores - some room to grow

        Cons

        - very underpaid and overworked especially for sales associates !! they had me and other associates at the time training new hires because management was "too busy" to do so - little to no training most of the time; when i got hired, i received no training at all and was just zoned basically anywhere. when i started doing more BOH stuff (shipment, PPS, and filling), i received barely any training for that either - some managers are incredibly rude to others and not helpful at all. there's been multiple occasions where someone will ask them a question and they will just roll their eyes or give attitude. definitely creates an unwelcoming environment which has resulted in a higher turnover rate

      Property Manager

      As a leasing agent for two years, I then worked my way to assistant manager for t 11 months. Then, to a property manager position, nine months into my new role as manager, I was terminated, with no warning, completely unexpected. How do I explain this undeserving action and embarrassment in an upcoming interview without any risk in the decision-making of my employment with the company I am interested in? I hope I am relaying this in a way that is understood.
