Pros

It is a fun and fast-paced environment. You meet a variety of people, and it is easy to make new friends. You also learn a great deal about customer service.

Cons

Like most jobs in retail for a large company, one of your responsibilities is to ask guests to open up credit cards. Sometimes it is stressful when you are unable to sign enough people up for these credit cards because the number of cards you open is part of your employee review. Also, like most jobs working with the public, some people are very nice and respectful, and others are... not so nice and respectful. Just remember not to take it personally if a guest becomes upset with you. If you are doing your best, there really isn't more that can be done. There are plenty of other guests that will appreciate your hard work.

Pros

If you are looking for a job that you’ll be a part of a fun team environment, have the ability to learn all about customer “guest” service, retail operations and sales, as well as merchandising even at entry level great opportunity. for such a large corporation I have been pleasantly surprised by how tight knit teams are. applying was okay, there were multiple steps (videos, assessments) but overall not too bad)., phone call and then video questions before hiring.

Cons

Pay isn’t great, but for the market it’s fair. Moving up involves a much larger increase in responsibilities and workload relative to the pay increase.
