Pros

-Large company with many jobs -Lots of free products and samples -Decent work environment for retail -Very structured business model

Cons

-Hardly any hours, usually 15 is considered good for a sales associate (at minimum wage, you'd better have another job or two!) -Major micro-managing by sales leads and store manager, often treated employees like children (this may have just been the manager I had, she was very hyperactive) -Floor sets are HORRIBLE!! We were never given enough time or employee hours for the complexity of the floorsets, often had to stay till 1AM or later for the big ones. Supplies were not adequate (things like fishing wire that had to be cut for hanging props instead of pre-set hangers) and we rarely were given all the product that was required in the model picture. -Pay is not great, but about average compared to similar jobs -The discount was 15% I think, which was pitiful since most of the sales we had worked out to be a better price than our discount!

Pros

They expect nothing but the best from their employees. Very difficult for incompetent employees to slip through the cracks.

Cons

In my personal experience, I was worked like a dog. Not a whole lot of praise for doing well, but a heck of a lot of criticism for screwing up.
