Pros
I can't really think of any 'best' reasons to work at Forever 21. The only thing I really enjoyed about working there is working around the clothes, which is one of the first reasons I applied. I'm only 19, so I knew it wouldn't be a career. I just needed to make some extra cash. I got to meet new people and learn what sales was really like, which has led me to the job I have now which is SO much better! Working there felt like boot camp in a way, I learned a lot of stuff the hard way because I went through so much crap working there. There aren't many pros about Forever 21. Sorry if you were expecting some, but I really can't think of one dang thing.
Cons
-The discount is horrible. -Your hours get cut for absolutely no reason at all. I didn't have hours for almost 5 months one time. -The management doesn't pay attention to your availability, I got scheduled during school multiple times. -I basically never received any respect or praise when I would work my butt off trying to stand out and do a good job. -They don't ask you to work overtime, they force you to do it. I worked a 2 to midnight shift once. I felt like a prisoner, I couldn't even leave without getting in trouble. -Most of the managers are really young, so they don't even know how to actually run a decent business. -They talk to down to you and act like you're a completely inexperienced person. -When you want to shop, you have to get walked into the fitting rooms, and a manager has to ring you up. Then they have to walk you out and check your bag, it's truly time consuming. -This isn't very important, but they play the same music oovverr and over again! I used to get headaches from the pounding techno.
