Pros

As with all off-price, business is good and consistent and layoffs are not a worry as with most retailers. Additionally, training programs are above average for the industry.

Cons

Exhausting is the only way to put it. Strong employees are overworked and taken advantage of. Constantly asked to cover for open roles. Mistakes are hyper-focused on and will be documented on reviews, even if its an anomaly. Corporate culture is awful. All direction is top-down and you better agree with it if you want to move up in this company. And lastly, for a woman-run company it is appalling the lack of flexibility and lack of encouragement for mothers. You will notice the people at the top are males or childless woman and are not a reflection of the people at lower levels.

Pros

Even though this is with my store specifically I got really lucky with my coworkers. Every season change there is 40% off for about a week other than that is 20%. They also have scholarship opportunities.

Cons

It’s a really physical job, sometimes it’s so busy that you can’t even take a break especially during Christmas season, you WILL debate working there during that time. The store hours are horrible and since most of the time were understaffed we won’t leave until almost midnight just cleaning up.
