      Pros

      Fun co-workers, great hours, great PTO, good benefits, good pay.

      Cons

      Manager is awful. She gossips with her staff, plants seeds of distrust through her team, spends the day walking around with her hands in her pockets doing nothing. She is obsessed with saving the whales. She smokes and smells awful because of it. You have to wear the hideous yellow uniform, even though you are not a sales associate. This makes doing your job as a visual merchandiser really difficult, because you are often the only person in the whole department, and customers harrass you constantly.

      Its all about their bonuses

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      They have some really hard workers, which go unrecognised and under appreciated .

      Cons

      Management only cares about their bonuses. In order to get their bonuses, they must keep operating expenses down, which mean they reduce their workforce and labour and make all the people on the floor work twice as hard. Its a really horrible place to work. In fact, 1 in 3 people leave within the first 6 months, thats how bad it is. Out of all the large multinational corporations i have worked for, this would have to be the worst. No work life balance, bad rostering , expected to work 105 hrs+ per fortnight even though contract is only 75.

      Bad management

      Pros

      Flexible, good if you are a uni student. Pay is ok for sales but a lot of work.

      Cons

      Unprofessional, no responsibility for management. Logistics management and team leaders a joke. No training. No progression unless you suck up. Management have no idea what they are doing and no one works together. They will not pay overtime. Managers and team leaders will backstab to get ahead.
