Pros

they offer competitive pay relative to other companies within that industry nice campus at the corporate office official classes for training purposes

Cons

depending on what department you work in: bad management cut throat environment you are overworked if you want to succeed there HR does not listen to complaints and shares private info with superiors constant change, new CEO comes in and turns everything upside down we used to have 10 friday 'flex' days a year where we could take a half day on friday and the new CEO came in and abolished that practice

Pros

The manager is the best I’ve ever had.

Cons

They can’t give you more than part time hours, and expect you to sell brands that people are unfamiliar with. They also set unrealistic sales goals

Pros

If you like working early morning hours and getting off early in the afternoon (which I do) this is a great part-time job. I was a college student when I worked here so it worked perfectly with my schedule. The pay is pretty decent and the people you work with are friendly.

Cons

Only real downside is that it's retail. You're going to run into some rude customers from time to time. There's always work to do and not enough time given to do it sometimes. But as long as you work hard and managers see that you're trying your best there isn't too much pressure put on you.
