Pros

Amazing clothes, great benefits, good work life balance, great pay for students who go to college. Friendly work environment!!!!! The Management is amazing, and you get paid time off accumulated to take time off whenever you please. The benefits are great too, you have Aetna medical insurance which offers such amazing coverage. Great work place for younger crowd as well!!! Awesome experience

Cons

Long holiday hours, stand up all day long which can really hurt your legs. The amount of massive returns that one sales person can get is very high. Very competitive sales environment, as well as snakey sales people so be careful.

Pros

Decent base pay, somewhat autonomous, great tip potential.

Cons

The company has changed for the worse since COVID. When I came back the mood of the entire store had shifted. Gone were the days of comradery, customer focus, and taking pride in a job well done. In its place there is a new culture of cutthroat sales, a severe decline in customer focus, and worst of all a new focus on profit over customer satisfaction. When I was told that the amount the store charged for a shoe shine was not enough to do the best job I could for a customer I knew things had gone downhill for the company. Not to mention I watch a manager prey on a mentally disabled person in order to secure a sale, when the person could not understand what was being offered. Sad that such a once great company is now just another greed ridden corporation.
