Pros

- Salary is good but with a catch. Expect to handle multiple positions simultaneously (Sale advisor, Store Administrator (full responsibility), Visual Merchandising, Operations, Cashier. - Fast paced and challenging environment (no time to take short breaks!!)

Cons

- Unreasonable deadlines and expectations, Especially if you are handling full administrative roles at any given time. - Inexperienced young management teams and unfriendly upper management. - Every store has different operations guidelines and processes depending on the Store Manager's experience and knowledge of business. - Overwhelming work loads while cutting cost and reducing hours for part timers. (Managers are expected to cover those shift gaps). - HR is too busy handling multiple stores and districts. (Don't expect immediate help from management team, because they are too busy covering sales advisors shifts and missing store administrators). - Advancement opportunities are limited, depending on how much upper management like you.

Job had potential growth when company was in a healthy state, ability to move into different career paths internally, pay is competitive, discounts on clothes a plus

Cons

Company lacks ability to adapt and evolve with market which has resulted in poor sales, mass layoffs, constant restructuring of positions, putting people in positions with limitedexperience and setting them up for failure consistently, poor leadership, lack of accountability and ownership, bonus structure poor, work life balance non existent if you are in an operations role.
