Pros

Good Pay, Good Benefits, a few good people.

Cons

Before you read this review, please take a moment to watch the first 5 minutes of the 1st episode of Comedy Central's new show called "Corporate". You'll laugh at something they practice at their fictional company called "Confrontational Criticism". With all seriousness and no exaggeration, that scene captures the pure essence of what it is like to work at the NYC buying office. If your a prospective candidate, prepare to work your hardest, and embrace a culture shock that will probably rock your personal life mentally. The company however does have a successful track record and the bonuses were very nice : )

Pros

Even though this is with my store specifically I got really lucky with my coworkers. Every season change there is 40% off for about a week other than that is 20%. They also have scholarship opportunities.

Cons

It’s a really physical job, sometimes it’s so busy that you can’t even take a break especially during Christmas season, you WILL debate working there during that time. The store hours are horrible and since most of the time were understaffed we won’t leave until almost midnight just cleaning up.
