Pros

Good Pay, Good Benefits, a few good people.

Cons

Before you read this review, please take a moment to watch the first 5 minutes of the 1st episode of Comedy Central's new show called "Corporate". You'll laugh at something they practice at their fictional company called "Confrontational Criticism". With all seriousness and no exaggeration, that scene captures the pure essence of what it is like to work at the NYC buying office. If your a prospective candidate, prepare to work your hardest, and embrace a culture shock that will probably rock your personal life mentally. The company however does have a successful track record and the bonuses were very nice : )

Pros

All of my coworkers were wonderful. No high school drama. Boss was flexible and understanding, although he always liked it if you said you could work more hours. The employee discount is pretty awesome. The work wasn't bad and rude customers were rare.

Cons

There was pressure to come in even when you were sick. Pay wasn't the greatest; it usually stayed ahead of minimum wage, but by no means kept up with inflation. Visits from corporate often meant a new change in procedures that had been working and demands that were somewhat unreasonable given the constraints of the layout or number of employees available.
