Pros

Most of management is extremely professional and very nice. Pleasant work atmosphere. Most coworkers are hard workers and know how to treat customers well. The merchandise is great. You are given mostly free reign to merchandise. The fixtures are very nice and add a high-end look to the store. They are very forgiving if you need to leave due to a family emergency,etc.

Cons

Management is never on the same page. The pay is horrible. The yearly pay raises are so sad that they are laughable. Safety is a joke. Loss prevention is nonexistent. You are expected to know how to do every job in the store. If you work hard and care about the quality of the job that you do, expect to be extremely insulted by a few of your coworkers abilities or lack thereof yet they keep them! Every job is timed yet come evaluation time it gets one no where to get the job done well and quickly.

Pros

it is a job if you desperately need one

Cons

management does not keep promises (e.g. I was promised $2 higher pay upon accepting the position and later was told it wasn't feasible anymore once starting. I was also promised a specific day off then last minute had it revoked because they decided to make it a mandatory day). management does not listen to or care about its employees, very unprofessional. store managers don't want to do anything to help, they just sit in the office. management let other employees slack off and do nothing and expected others to compensate for their lack of effort general manager was horribly rude and misogynistic. he threw a box at someone while visiting.
