Pros

It is a stable company which is flexible with scheduling and time off requests. They provide educational reimbursements for team leads and above. The benefits package is excellent with health care as well as a liberal short term diabilitly package which is free and easy to use when needed.

Cons

The main downsides are the lack of communication about the business between Senior Management and the team leads. It is also almost impossible to advance beyond a team lead from within the company, however new college graduates can enter as Executive Team Leads. The team leads then train them to be our boss.

Pros

First look at the clearance merchandise.

Cons

They will work your ass off. I worked as a Sales Floor Team Lead and out of 7 of us, 5 of us had foot problems. 3 of which needed surgery. Also, despite of how much retail experience someone may have you will never be promoted higher that a Team Lead unless you have a bachelors degree, and if you have one and get hired as a Team Lead, you have to be in that position for 2 years before they will consider promotions and if you get one, be prepared to go to another store to work.
