Pros

Nice coworkers & cute clothes...... that’s about it.

Cons

10% discount, 20% rarely Pay is too low for work asked to do. Scheduling is trash, always understaffed so everyone is always running around in a frenzy doing other people’s jobs. A monkey could run this store better. Managers are rude for no reason and never fail to give attitude. They want you to give them a 2 week-month notice for a vacation day off but they will still schedule you. Training is poor. They don’t train you properly then get mad at you when you don’t know. They will make you sign a book for every error you make even though they failed to even fully train you. The communication in the store is pathetic, frequently changing everything and failing to notify employees. Communication is done through a headset but when you talk and need help everyone ignores you. You will get talked to for every little thing you do multiple times a day. Even the best worker. It gets busy and they will leave you as a cashier alone and then get mad when you didn’t have time to put all your returned clothes away after each transaction. Oh give me a break. Humans are not robots. Schedule more people or stop being so unrealistic. Don’t get me started on the pressure to get people to sign up for credit card....
