Pros

discount works on clearance items.

Cons

13 month waiting period before someone who was promoted can change areas. Store managers, and other executives at the store, are hired just out of college based what appears to be on their looks rather than their experience or ability. Store managers and other executives sit in their offices offer no help and ask why things aren't getting done when staffing is short. Consistently, told by executives of everything you do wrong and nothing about all the successes you have. The store I worked in lost over 3 executive team leads, 10 team leads, and a half dozen bench (people who had interviewed to become team leads waiting for a spot to open) in a year and a half. Unrealistic work expectations, when the computer system says a work task is supposed to take 0 hours to do and its a complete change that takes the best people in the store 8 hours something's wrong.

Pros

Salary is very high, that is the only positive thing I can say about working there.

Cons

No work life balance Company is very unfair and inconsistent It's all about who you're friends with, not what your work is. All upper management looks for is buzz words, versus results. No real HR, none of the HR have actually specialized in HR. Salary people are paid very well, everyone else is paid minimum wage, with low hours.
