Pros

I worked at Forever 21 for a few months because I love fashion and I wanted to gain experience in the field of visual merchandising. It was horrible--the visual merchandisers frequently worked 12 + hour shifts without sufficient breaks and we were pressured by management to get huge tasks done in an implausible time frame. The other visual merchandiser I worked with would always raise her voice at me and basically question my intelligence. I was never properly trained and realized soon after that I was hired as an extra set of hands. I was expected to hold a wooden shelf that was half my weight on a 9-foot ladder to which I refused. I was warned about this company but I still took the job because they are huge in the industry. Be careful :/

Cons

low pay, overtime, unrealistic employee expectations, no safety training, stressful
