Pros

Fair pay for store managers,and fun products to sell with ever changing lineup. Company does a pretty good job of adapting to stay competitive and provides a well laid out training program.

Cons

Not enough time to implement training and too much expectation on store manager to do it all...manage, train, and achieve very high sales goals. A manager should be responsible for managing and training, not having the highest sales on the floor. Customers are feeling more pressured due to increased pressure on staff. Keep it simple and know that your new method is turning people off! Middle management plays favorites, you're either on the radar or you are nobody. A lot of fake personalities and micro managing when not necessary. There may be talk of work life balance but if you're not working on your day off you pay for it when you get back in the building!

Pros

Good discounts on merchandise, easy work.

Cons

I would have loved to purchase some of their products conisdering the 40% off discount for employees, but they failed to pay me enough to sustain myself let alone buy from their store! I was getting paid about $150 every two weeks! They never notified me about how little I'd be working or about what my schedule would be like, my shifts were completely random. If you want a set schedule each week. this job isn't for you, you're lucky to get 1 shift a week that only lasts about 3-4 hours. Once again, my supervisors failed to mention this, thinking it was more important that I know how to sell products than whether or not I get paid enough to survive. I don't know why there was so much emphasis on selling merchandise to customers anyway, these products practically sell themselves. I had a lot of questions starting out since I was a NEW EMPLOYEE and all and had never worked a job like this in my life, but for some reason my supervisors failed to see this and instead made me feel ashamed and embarassed for asking the simplest of questions. They'd actually get mad and a little sassy at me for asking a question, like where a specific item was or how to do a return. I have to remind you, I had just started and my shifts were so sporadic it was difficult to retain all the info, so I HAD to ask questions.
