Pros

The brand is well known which looks good on a resume

Cons

There was disrespect for certain people's roles and staff would get 'bored' and suddenly want your job for the day. Hipster racism was rampant and the details of which are too numerous to list. There is peer pressure to buy clothes from coworkers who have rich parents. Some people do more physical labor than others and the storage room was a literal hazard to health and safety. Passive aggressive managers. Nothing I did was right once the gossip started. At the end of it all I was told I was not management material and that I should stop applying for manager roles.
