Pros

Discount, Dress Code and Products.

Cons

Constantly changing directive. Reporting that is overwhelming and ensures manager has no time to train associates and run the floor. Unrealistic expectations for tasking and payroll. Motivation through negative feedback and being "made an example of" within the company. Unprofessional communications from upper management including crude language and vulgarity from the top down. Stores that are not built to handle the amount of inventory allocated.
