Pros

It's a big company and someone looking for a job in retail would do well here. This is probably one of the best retailers to get a management position in and it's relatively easy to get a job as an assistant manager if you have a college degree.

Cons

It's really not for everyone and I have decided it's not for me. I am mostly using my job as an MGT to pay for my school so that I can leave retail and get a job doing something that is M-F 8-5. You work for your job. Be prepared to be exhausted at times and having to work holidays.

Pros

pay was decent I guess

Cons

no promotions, no good management, a lot of people in positions that do absolutely nothing, very cliquey, constant checking in 1:1's, no growth in your career, favoritism, toxic environment.
