Pros

Amazing pay for retail. good discount on special order. you are also always going to have 40 hours and they do not get cut to make budget like some other retailers. a mandatory hour lunch is good but make sure that you stay on HR's good side. they will check cameras to follow your breaks, check punches in the time clock and document everything. they also have a habit of saving anything you do wrong and bringing it up as a discipline issue when you get on their bad side. but just don't steal time and always be to work when you're supposed to be and you'll be fine.

Cons

Pressure to sell when you can't control customer influx

Pros

Some amazing customers and coworkers. Tasks and systems were easy to learn. Sometimes you get lucky and have amazing ASMs and SMs. It's easy to get a good survey when you treat customers like friends, be honest about what you do and don't know, and work to learn what you don't. That goes a long way with customers. I personally truly loved my job and loved spending as much time as I could at work.

Cons

Once you are on someones S*** List they will make it possible to get rid of you. Management only follows policy when it benefits them. Some people get promoted when they have no business working in retail as a leader. The A/C in the store I worked in was always broken during the summer, which made it miserable to work. Some customers are entitled due to they way management will kiss their butts to keep from losing a sale or getting a bad review. Management will make a paper trail to write you up if you mess up or are struggling instead of helping you better yourself. Management does not care about employees' work-life balance. Management does not care if their employees are struggling with personal issues like car troubles, health issues, financial issues, etc. Management will get rid of great employees but keep people who don't pull their weight. Once I hit burnout, instead of helping me, I was punished by my managers. In turn making me hate a job I truly loved.
