    loved my job role, but too much pressure.
    The good thingsThe staff discount was helpful (40%), flexible shifts and N/A's could be worked around easily.
    The challengesConstantly expected to stay updated on trends, but with new stock every week and the clothes being pretty pricey made that hard. So much pressure was put on staff to make budget, I can recall once being left a note for an open and being told if I didn't make budget I will get a phone call from my manager and also my area manager to explain why I didn't and there would be a reconsideration of my job. The material is cheap, yet the prices were almost triple than what it should be...like how do you think we can sell that?
