Pros

The clients make your day! The company expresses amazing values which make you want to work for them, however, the upper management who actually do, will make you think otherwise.

Cons

Being a new store, I can say that the process has been a little unsettling. The environment they pitch you in your interview is definitely not realistic. This company is very “matter of fact” when it comes to policy and procedures, however, it only applies to certain people. The DM has instilled such a fear with the employees that the fear of reporting is insane. Violating everything from taking “boxes” out the back door with her family, transferring product under other employees numbers, not working shifts they committed to, and the list goes on. The lack of support from upper management is rather embarrassing especially for a new store. The sheer level of disrespect for other store managers is ridiculous and beyond a huge HR violation. They way you are spoken to, referred to as if you are an idiot and talked about is often embarrassing. Having your DM discuss everyone’s HR issues puts you in an uncomfortable position.

Pros

Business hours and get to meet some great clients

Cons

Lack of recognition for hard workers. No pay increase. Some employees are getting paid 30+ an hour at most stores and complain about a couple of cents from pay increase where people like myself is getting paid $10 less with no pay increase. Full time employees will do the most work more than anyone else, including management. Management also receives the most recognition over the employees that do the most work. This company has been bought out by Macy’s so I don’t think they care to hear what employees have to say.
