Pros

Good discounts. The work is mindless. Fellow associates are in the same boat as you, and usually hate the company just as much.

Cons

Plenty. There is little to no communication and the pricing/signing is VERY confusing for us, let alone for customers. Raises are only given once a year and have little to do with your job performance. Plus, they're minimal. The company is clearly very greedy and don't care for their employees.

Pros

In general the people who work here are friendly and supportive.

Cons

There is very little transparency, and no consistency, at this company. Some people go from being an assistant buyer to being a buyer in less than four years, while others can sit in one assistant buyer II position for four years with no explanation for why they have not been deemed ready for promotion. There is also a huge salary range, and how much you make does not depend on your experience or skill; it is entirely possible for an assistant buyer II to make less than an assistant buyer I. In addition assistant planners can make as much as 40% more than some assistant buyers.
