Pros

The relationships I've made with my teammates, we went through psychological and corporate war together.

Cons

Trickle down management, nepotism and if you are not Korean you do not have a chance for solid further advancement. The high turnover in corporate is evidence of the mismanagement, and basic misery felt by much of the employees. Since the company is based on discount fashion, the materials I needed for my job are discount, to the point of the CEO having to sign off on my employees computers which too time for us to get. Rather than invest in the employees they company would just want to open up more stores.

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

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)
