Pros

Good starting wage for retail. Great gratis! Good employee discount (30%).

Cons

Long shifts (10 hour days often working working 6+ days in a row). Crappy schedules and last minute changes are constant. HORRIBLE MANAGEMENT. Corporate encourages you to write good reviews on their products online (really?). Strongly encouraged (feels forced) to sell their brand products only in stores. Pays hourly but has high sales goals. All these new reviews have got to be fake and hence why I wanted to share my views when I worked there. Did I mention how horrible the management is?

Pros

Business hours and get to meet some great clients

Cons

Lack of recognition for hard workers. No pay increase. Some employees are getting paid 30+ an hour at most stores and complain about a couple of cents from pay increase where people like myself is getting paid $10 less with no pay increase. Full time employees will do the most work more than anyone else, including management. Management also receives the most recognition over the employees that do the most work. This company has been bought out by Macy’s so I don’t think they care to hear what employees have to say.
