Pros

Opportunity for a sizable bonus

Cons

No upward mobility as a buyer. Buyers vs management roles are outnumbered like 20:1 so it takes forever to get promoted, if ever. Plenty of people have been buyers for 10+ years there trying to get promoted and never have. Not even an opportunity to become Sr buyer. Do not give adequate raises. 1-4%, with 4% being the maximum if you score the highest rating on sales and performance. Not flexible, only 1 WFH day per week

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.
