Pros

Great benefits, especially at the buyer level and above. A lot of emphasis on properly equipping merchants with the tools they will need to succeed. Pretty good compensation at buyer level and above, otherwise in line. Egalitarian fashion, meaning you will not be judged by how you look or what you wear. The overall culture is pretty friendly. The company is stable and growing.

Cons

The organization is very big. There are so many titles and levels of management to go through it becomes cumbersome at times to get things done. There are a lot of meetings, a lot of bureaucracy.There is little room for creativity, and individual thinking/opinion is not encouraged, rather punished. Just depends on what you are willing to put up with.

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.
