Pros

Great coworkers, everyone was a team in the department, okay discount, clean environment, good parties and events, compensation was higher than most places doing the same type of work.

Cons

Upper management was incompetent, not understanding about life outside of work, a lot of people I worked with were in College, but scheduling was difficult to accommodate school. Other departments were hard to communicate with, not very helpful at all. Couldn't really speak to anyone in upper management about issues with other departments because they were all buddy buddy. No room for advancement unless your kissing someones butt well before the position is open.

Pros

Can sometimes be fun especially before a store opens and everyone works together building the showrooms. You do get an employee discount.

Cons

After the initial hoo ha of a store opening they cut hours to bare bones. People hire on as full time and within 3 months are part time, working 5 hours one day, then 4 hours two days later, it makes no sense. The pay is terrible, absolutely awful and this is an extremely wealthy company.

Pros

Very good about time off.

Cons

You have to fight for every hour you can work. Part time is 19 hours or less. Full time, 19 hours or more. Management does not tell you any of this until your hired in.
