Pros

- Entry level management training - Paid parking in urban areas (managers only) - Offers health insurance (managers only)

Cons

- Unrealistic merchandising workloads. - High employee turn-over. - Upper management plays favorites. - Falls short on designs and does not appeal to the masses; limited market; too niche. - Product is too expensive for the average consumer, thus creating unrealistic selling expectations for store managers set by regional/ headquarter management to play catch up. - Recruiters sell false promises of creative freedom (merchandising POV); entirely cookie cutter; corporate driven.
