Sales Associate (Former Employee), Seattle, WA – May 22, 2012
Pros: the location downtown seattle was very convienient
Cons: breaks were not long enough, considering location.
It was a really fun place to work, its up beat fun and the fashion was great, if your a student that just needs a job while in school I totally advise it.
Sales Associate (Current Employee), Stamford – May 22, 2012
A typical day at work is very fast paste, and a lot of responsibilities. Work from 7-12 every other week. My co-workers are good people, but they don't all get along. Management is very poor, they don't have great attitudes that fit the job description. The hardest part of the job is the hours the want you to work. But the most enjoyable part of the – more... job is buying the clothes, even if the employee discount wasn't much. – less
Customer Service (Former Employee), mission viejo ca – May 17, 2012
Pros: coworkers
Cons: breaks, management, hours
the hours were insane you'd be 3-close and you'd be there till 4 am! when the mall closed at 9. management was horrible they don't know how to communicate, most of the workers act like they are in high school, and the pay and discount isn't worth devoting your entire life to this job (which is what they want) Only good thing was the handful of workers – more... who have become life long friends with each other. – less
Administrative Assistant for Head Manager (Former Employee), New York, NY – May 16, 2012
Everyday was different and we faced different challenges working with different personalities with our staff and with customers. Overall we had great customer service skills and everyone was happy.
Sales / Stock Associate (Former Employee), New York, NY – May 13, 2012
Pros: discounted clothes and fun atmosphere
Cons: late hours, long shifts and a lot of work
Any job in retail especially working with clothing will be abit challenging. You mainly just have to know how to prioritize your time. You also can let yourself get overwhelmed. Hardest part of the job was trying to help customers and have all sections maintained and done on time.

Sales Associate (Current Employee), Richmond, VA – May 7, 2012
A typical workday includes fast paced environment full of customers who may or may not need your help in current fashion trends, but extending great customer service to everyone. the hardest part of the job is cleaning up after customers. However, the most rewarding part is being able to provide assistance to a customer who appreciates what you do, – more... and is happy with their shopping experience because of you. – less

Cons: no bonus, healthcare
But i can say that the store has great floor set on fashion forward concepts... The has alot going for them selves in fact of knowing the target markets and delvoping future golas with their customers needs.
fun store level crew to work with; mediocre upper management
Assistant Store Manager (Former Employee), Salinas, CA – May 3, 2012
Pros: awesome co-workers at store level
Cons: horrible upper management, double standards
Hired to do ONE job; ended up doing another job and still being held accountable for the first job. Upper management (corporate) is a bad joke to say the least. Getting paid the big dollars to point out and state the obvious, "Oh, you didn't make your numbers this week? You need to make your numbers next week!" Really? Wow I don't think we would have – more... figured that out without corporate breathing down our necks.
As for management training; they train you on how to micromanage (and annoy) your employees. My employees all liked and confided in me because I refused to micromanage them. They already knew what was expected of them and did not need me going to them every 30 seconds asking, "What are you working on? You almost done?"
If you feel the need to micromanage your employees then you either shouldn't be running a business of any kind or you need to get new employees.
Overall not a good place to work. The amount of stress they put on me did not seem appropriate for the type of job I was doing nor worth the pay. – less
Assistant Store Manager (Current Employee), Ontario, CA – May 2, 2012
This has been the worst company I have ever worked for. There is no set structure or organization in the company whatsoever. Rules and regulations change on a daily basis. I recommend if you are desperate for a job and in need of on ASAP to apply and keep looking for something better. You do not want to stick around and grow with this company.
