Pros

Employee purchase, staff discounts, employed, decent benefits for full time employees, building is warm, clearance pricing, pretend that they don't want you working off the clock

Cons

There are several that I don't want to mention at this time, even though they don't officially give references, it is a retail environment so know that there will be shifts and hours can be hard to come by.

Pros

-It's a job that is available in most locations.

Cons

-The company, on a corporate level, doesn't seem to grasp the value of the talent they have. - Close ties with Citibank subvert the importance of product knowledge, customer service, and revenue for credit card sales. - Daily Performance check-ins are overbearing and myopic. - Tends to burnout motivated employees with false carrots and hollow promises. - Pay's terrible, and rides the line of predatory at times.
