Pros

A decent summer job to earn some money as a sales associate. I worked the morning shift where you unload the truck delivering the merchandise and spend a large portion of the work day properly stocking the merchandise in the right department. The people I worked with were all nice and of course the discounts to clothes always helps.

Cons

Morning shift is always stressful because the managers need the product out of the backroom ASAP and if you fall behind, its spells trouble for the rest of the week. I understand the managers have a boss but sometimes their goals of properly processing the merchandise by day's end is unreasonable. During my time working there over the summer I saw numerous long term employees quit due to disrespect. It really was an associates versus supervisors environment.

Pros

Even though this is with my store specifically I got really lucky with my coworkers. Every season change there is 40% off for about a week other than that is 20%. They also have scholarship opportunities.

Cons

It’s a really physical job, sometimes it’s so busy that you can’t even take a break especially during Christmas season, you WILL debate working there during that time. The store hours are horrible and since most of the time were understaffed we won’t leave until almost midnight just cleaning up.
