Pros
wonderful co-workers, get to see new merchandise frequently, broad benefits package
Cons
Non-compliance with company break policies. In my four years I only received the 45 minute lunch break 23% of the time. Company is seriously understaffed. I could never use all of my PTO because there was never staff to cover time off. If you are sick plan on coming in anyway. DM's does not assist with coverage and will admit that they do not care "about what inconveniences the managers might experience." Although the company speaks often about connections senior executives would often do undercover visits to stores and not acknowledge associates. As a manager expect that your schedule will change frequently if not daily. Also expect to be called at home frequently on your day off. Beginning pay for hourly associates is not competitive. Neither a pro nor con but be prepared to really push credit cards. If you are not comfortable with that do not take accept a job offer.
