Pros

Decent pay, good benefits, thorough onboarding process. You learn a lot.

Cons

Your buyer and DMM are direct influences on your experience here. Of course they conduct your performance reviews and determine annual appraisals but you cannot review them. Some managers are relaxed and some are micromanagers. If you guys have working styles that clash you will likely be unhappy your stay or feel forced to leave. Sometimes there’s no way to get all tasks done from 8:30-5:30. So a lot of AB’s work off the clock because we don’t receive overtime. Large workloads and unreasonable daily expectations from higher management. Supply chain issues have overtaken all the other responsibilities of the job and encompass most your daily time. Not enough support. Company has DE&I efforts but there are hardly any POC in management. The work environment doesn’t feel racist but it does feel tone deaf.

Pros

Even though this is with my store specifically I got really lucky with my coworkers. Every season change there is 40% off for about a week other than that is 20%. They also have scholarship opportunities.

Cons

It’s a really physical job, sometimes it’s so busy that you can’t even take a break especially during Christmas season, you WILL debate working there during that time. The store hours are horrible and since most of the time were understaffed we won’t leave until almost midnight just cleaning up.
