Pros

If you like working with people this is a great place. There is alot of face to face time interacting with customers. I like to see my work efforts pay off as merchandise moves during busy peaks. The selection that we have this year makes it easy for great sales results. Also, there is never a dull momment. There is always plenty to do. I've never said I had nothing to do in all the years I worked here.Also,The great discounts!

Cons

There is no seperation of responsibilites within our job title. The sales manager is the person that can transform into just about every single associate in the store. I wish there was more time allotted to focus on analyzing sales and communicating results. Sometimes I spend more time ringing at registers and cleaning out fitting rooms than doing my job. Which forces me to take work home to complete schedules and look through my numbers. Also, The yo yo schedule is hard thing to get use to. I've been doing this for many years and my body still has not adjusted to the shift close than open then off throughout the week.

Pros

If you like working early morning hours and getting off early in the afternoon (which I do) this is a great part-time job. I was a college student when I worked here so it worked perfectly with my schedule. The pay is pretty decent and the people you work with are friendly.

Cons

Only real downside is that it's retail. You're going to run into some rude customers from time to time. There's always work to do and not enough time given to do it sometimes. But as long as you work hard and managers see that you're trying your best there isn't too much pressure put on you.
