Pros

Surrounded by cute clothes, and get to see all the new shipments come in Always something to do Being assistant manager was fun (being an associate wouldn't be much fun)

Cons

30 minute lunch breaks (needs to be 1 hr!) Never enough hours to give to associates/not enough floor coverage Getting out at 12am (2am during holiday season) Dealing with customers... the ones that are rude Ridiculous amounts of go-backs each night

Pros

Pay was decent, managers were nice, & was scheduled to work every day

Cons

One of the cons was that if you had closing shift during peak season, you weren't allowed to go home until everything was organized (around 1 am)
