Pros

I loved the discount. Made a lot of friends. Learned a lot about retail sales and outbound shipping processing.

Cons

Early shifts on the weekends, took advantage of me because I was willing to work harder than other part time employees hired right before and after me. Sales associates treat Inventory workers with little respect. Overall job was way too stressful. My advice is care as little as possible to reduce stress. Don't volunteer to come in early or work late. We were never caught up. Management was pretty awful. Wish I would of kept my previous job that paid less.

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.
