Pros

Good discounts, free merchandise, lots to learn

Cons

Poor management, varying hours including shifts starting at 5am, and some shifts scheduled until 230am, though you never get out at 230, thats nearly a promise. Face to face customer service always sucks, but the customers here are absolutely ruthless. Sale season is a complete mess. Theres is minimal professionalism, and breaks are not always guarunteed, they are actually often forgotten about. I am pregnant as i am working here, and there is no consideration either. I am supposed to be a part time employee, but i have been scheduled for 8 day work week stretches, have worked 11 hour shifts when only scheduled for 8 with only one break. I have been scheduled for 2 shifts back to back, with only 5 hours off, not even enough time for me to travel home and sleep before having to head back in. I would not reccomend this job to anybody who is looking for anything else out of their career besides money.

Pros

Have met some amazing coworkers. Brand itself is fun.

Cons

Sudden Return to Work mandate 3 days in NY or OH SIX years after COVID. Any current employees outside of those states are being let go if they don’t uproot their lives and relocate. Many employees in those states built their lives around what seemed to be a permanent remote flexibility arrangement (most companies went back in 23). When Hillary Super came on she even stated in one of her first Q&A’s on remote work that where people do their jobs wasn’t a big concern for her as long as we continued to drive the business forward. The business is doing the best it ever has in the last five years. Leadership reasoning for mandate is continuing to fall flat. Mandate came absolutely out of NOWHERE.
