Pros
Not many, that's for sure. I could say the discount, but who wants to contribute to fast fashion anymore? If anything, I liked that there was no uniform and free will for presenting yourself and appearance in a unique environment. Very non-discriminative.
Cons
Poor management/leaders, no sense of team building, poor scheduling, annoying music, favoritism, unprofessional vibe, draining atmosphere, and overall highly disorganized. Training is nonexistent, the pay is little to nothing, payed to stand and look nice while folding t-shirts. 4 week call off period. VERY quick turnover.
Advice to Management
do better and treat employees with respect and the way they should be treated.

Pros
40% discount on most clothing items, early access to sales, fun people, great experience as a beginner job, and you can wear whatever your want.
Cons
Management acts like children + UO is not eco-friendly by any means.
Advice to Management
Management needs to grow up a little. You're not better than your employees, so stop treating them like garbage. Drink a coffee and stop acting like an angsty teen.

Pros
The casual environment allows for an excellent opportunity to bond with people and easily make friends. I'd say the company promotes creative freedom since associates are given opportunity to help with many important tasks like merchandising.
Cons
The downside is I feel that a lot of employees take on responsibilities beyond what is expected and the pay does not match how hard some people work. I would expect long term employees to get better raises.
