Pros

Discount. You can buy things dirt cheap at the stores, although coupons never apply to the good brands (Nike, Adidas, etc)

Cons

- toxic corporate environment, 99% about politics rather than getting stuff done - mean girls/bullying culture, especially from people from buying and marketing - people are extremely stuck to old ways and technology and they will become defensive to new ideas and improvements - diversity and inclusion is way below I have seen at other companies - tons of layoffs and firings, consistently at all levels. From analysts all the way to to SVPs. It was very common.

Pros

If you like working early morning hours and getting off early in the afternoon (which I do) this is a great part-time job. I was a college student when I worked here so it worked perfectly with my schedule. The pay is pretty decent and the people you work with are friendly.

Cons

Only real downside is that it's retail. You're going to run into some rude customers from time to time. There's always work to do and not enough time given to do it sometimes. But as long as you work hard and managers see that you're trying your best there isn't too much pressure put on you.
