Pros

Only pro is the discount at 50%.

Cons

I have never experienced a company more incompetent than this one. 1. They would not listen to us when we had homeless people breaking into the store at night. They refused to give us a security system despite all the evidence we had that people were breaking in. Only after a cop literally saw a homeless person bump our door they believed us. 2. We didn't have any upper management for almost 6 months, yet expected our store to function and preform without an assistant or store manager. Our district manager would show up to do the schedule, tell us we weren't working hard enough to make sales, then leave. 3. They will threaten your jobs if you don't make even weekly goals. During when we didn't have any management we made our month goal! Really great, well only a week into the next month we weren't on track, my district manager said that to avoid hiring new team members we need to make our weekly goals. 4. Sales goals are completely unattainable. From the year prior they bumped up our total goals 25%. You cannot expect a 25% increase in sales in a year span. It is grossly unatainable, and nobody could actually make sales. Almost every store in our district (which there was about 8 or 9) were not making sales. Yet we get blamed that we are just not working hard enough. That is really only touching the surface of how horrible this company is. My district manager was exteremly off her rocker, she once took me into the basement and screamed at me for a solid 15 minutes about how if I wanted to leave I should just leave and how I'm terrible at my job. I honestly thought she was going to jump over the table and starting attacking me. Told this to HR but they didn't care. Nobody cares about anything that happens in those stores, and they sure as hell don't care about their employees. Don't work here. Plus most of the clothes they cycle from year to year because they can't seem to sell all of them. Because they're ugly and cheaply made.

Pros

Fun. easy going retail environment

Cons

The company hired me to move from one city to another 2 hours away and then closed the location they hired me to work at 5 months after hiring me. I found out later this had to have been in the works all along and it was not communicated to me that this was to be the case. I left a job I had had for 7 years to move to a new city for a fresh start only to shortly after have a piece of that start removed by a company with no compassion. They then offered me a lesser position at another location where the pay wasn't even the least bit comparable. This truly could have been a lovely position where it not for all that got in the way.
