Pros

Low volume, small stores. Freedom with visual merchandising - every store is unique. Bonus program when monthly plan is met (40-80 cents per hour you work per month extra). Bonus program with stretch plan is met ($50 store gift cards). Growing company.

Cons

Low compensation. Employee discount is mediocre - Company offers no special discounts for employees but one day out of the year for Christmas. Rules, procedures, and expectancies are set in place for all store managers and staff, just like any company. If you have a manager that breaks any of these rules, do not expect appropriate results from HR, even with the best RD. Good temporary job, though not for over-achievers unless you are a store manager, as they get all of the credit (and are compensated for it). As expected, with a company run completely by women, there's more talk and less action. Prepare to experience catty behavior.

Pros

I loved the flexibility of my boss scheduling me according to free time with my college work.

Cons

I felt like it was a very serious job and sometime my boss would make me go up to guests and keep askign them questions right when they walk in the door.
