Pros
Management roles pay VERY well - probably the best in retail. The relationships you build with your co-workers get you through the day. Fast-paced so your day flies by. Promotions happen from within and talent gets recognized early on for quick development.
Kontras
Unrealistic expectations from corporate - constantly receive mixed messages from your regionals. Each department head expects a different result from your work and it's impossible to leave at the end of the day feeling satisfied about what you did that day because you know you disappointed at least one person by not achieving what they expected of you. Never ending shipment delays! Constantly have to change schedule to accommodate shipment not arriving when it's supposed to. You are guilted into coming into work even if you're sick. You feel pressure to stay later than you are scheduled. The only reason I'm still here is for the pay but I'm actively looking for a new job. Oh, and the store music is horrible. I want to like this company and this job so badly, but I just can't anymore.
