Pros

The people are generally great, especially the department specialists who have been there a while and know how everything works. There are lots of contests and fun stuff during the year to keep the staff motivated and dynamic. It's a rigorous environment with so much to learn and they give you the tools: hands-on tutorials from head office or licensee staff, video tutorials, an online interface where you sign-in and can instantly access everything and everyone in the company. If you're looking to get started in fashion or retail its a great experience. It will teach you how collections and merchandising work, and even some of the more complex stuff: they set aside time for employees to view the annual report stock-holder's meeting on the ipads. If you're willing to devote the time to it, you can make a lot on commission.

Cons

The work hours are insane, which can put everyone on edge even if they're not highly-strung by nature. The self-presentation guidelines are psychotic: they will regulate everything from high-lights to nail-polish colours, with little uniform details such as how many buttons can be open on your shirt closely monitored. The worst part is they don't give references for low-level employees.
