Pros
The team ethic between sales managers at my store was really good. I liked the program overall, the training was decent and they did a good job transitioning new managers from shadowing an experienced manager to being on their own. However as a college graduate who just spent four years getting an education I resented the amount of manual labor I had to do. As a manager in the Accessories/Juniors departments it was non-stop cleaning of clothing racks, picking up clothes out of the fitting rooms and hauling them around the three-story store. After working insane hours at Christmas I got fed up and found a new job. I think other smaller stores may have less of this problem, but the store I was in was big, had a lot of foot traffic, and was severely understaffed in the areas that needed help the most (any area with women's clothing or accessories).
Cons
Store manager made department managers come in an hour early to straighten the store, after I left I heard they made managers come in on Saturdays to straighten, regardless of whether they were scheduled to work or not..
