Pros

Cool coworkers, discount on clothes, overall cool environment to be in

Cons

Absolutely terrible management. I have never worked a job that has given me such bad mental health problems the way 2nd Street did. Managers treat you like a child and get upset with you if you come back from the bathroom one minute late. The pay is bad but the managers will convince you it's the best job you'll ever have and that you should be lucky to be there. Managers are incredibly unprofessional and will treat you like you're a child at a summer camp with no autonomy. I have never been belittled as much as I have at this job. Very little schedule flexibility as well--if you can't meet their schedule requirements, don't even bother trying to work with them to accommodate you.

Pros

job itself is fun and you get exposure to brands and trends. Coworkers can be a strong positive — several reviews describe a relaxed atmosphere and good friendships among staff. Flexible scheduling — often helpful for students or people balancing another job. Potential internal growth if the store is expanding. Dress code is usually casual and fashion-oriented rather than highly formal

Cons

Management consistency Pay and benefits are common weak points Promotions and growth can feel unclear or uneven. Scheduling/work-life balance concerns show up, especially for buyers or management roles. Some employees mention workplace cliques or store drama.
