Pros

The discount is great for managers. The product is nice. They have very cute clothing and accessories.

Cons

Inexperienced area managers and district managers. Corporate is not well established to handle the company's business needs. They do not hire qualified employees therefore it creates an unstable, inconsistent working environment. Management has no say in discipline or promotion of staff. They don't know how to deal with well experienced qualified manager's. They are use to young workers who don't care about employment. No upper management support. They give management a manual and say figure it out. The clothing are very cheap whole sale purchased. The prices actually come with shipping. Consumers are charge 70% or more than actual purchase price. Poorly run company. Salary is the lowest of any other retailers. Management are trained to offer minimum wage and no more plus only give very little hours to staff.

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.
