Pros

discount is main benefit but as retail gets more competive that is starting to disappear and 401k is available to everyone even part timers which is good

Cons

advancement is hard for part time. to move to full time jobs they require you to be available for more than 50 hours in a week even though you can only work 40

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.
