Pros of working at PacSun

There isn’t a dress code. It’s a very chill job depending on who is “running you”

Cons of working at PacSun

Staff turnover is absolutely horrendous. Some managers just don’t value you and only see you as a part of their paycheck.

PacSun benefits

Probably the discounts…

I work in one of the orange county stores. are you just fully up to day on floorset? been hearing from some of our corporate visits that the east coast and midwest stores are very behind

I work at two stores, one of them tore apart the store one night as I was closing to change the floorset, and then a week later when I came in to get my last check from them the store looked exactly the same (minus to tables that switched, but since they're the same size and had the same stuff I didn't notice) As far as the store that I'm starting at soon goes, they apparently stayed up til like 3AM to finish theirs, but I'm not sure how it looked before/how it's supposed to look now...! But I have been hearing even from my managers that we're behind~ :'(

Are you having the clearance sale right now? How much will be taken off? Lol. Craziest story? Best thing that's happened there ever? Why do you like it there? What's the employee discount like? Favorite clothing brand from there?

We're actually doing buy one get one free Bullhead Jeans, which is like $40-$50 savings. Bullheads are my FAVORITE brand of jeans, so I'm excited about it! Other than that, there aren't any huge deals going on~ I haven't really wittnessed anything crazy yet... there was a woman who came in with her 2 or 3 year old daughter. Her daughter started to cry and she started smacking the kids butt to get her to stop, and even when the kid wasn't making any noise she was still smacking her and saying "You are a bad child! A bad baby! You are bad!" That wasn't crazy but it was pretty hard not to go over there and tell her that she was a bad mother. :| I like talking to people! I was previously a barista at a popular smoothie bar, so I was excited to get another "chatty" job. The discount is 50% off 5 items a month, and then 30% off the rest of the month... they've recently started doing this thing where you buy an outfit for 70% off (meaning it's usually about $20-$30), which includes jeans, a cami, and some sort of over shirt (sweater, lacey top thing, jacket). Favorite brand? uhhhhh probablyyy.. the bullhead jeans. I'm pretty picky about jeans!
