Pros

Good products, and great store level colleagues.

Cons

Corporate will terminate your employment based on the opinions of others and not take your side into account. HR also admittedly "does not have enough time to do the research" to see if you are actually in the right or wrong.  They also don't seem to believe in verbal or written warnings before terminating people. They do not believe in hearing your side, or giving you a chance to prove them wrong in their beliefs. They just blind side you, terminate you, and your side of the story does not matter. I know this to be a fact in at least 4 different employee's cases (some with the company over 5 years) . Your quality as an employee and your excellent report with customers is not taken into account at all. They just hide behind the fact that you are working for an "at will" employer. Knowing now their lack of consideration for the well being of their employees, glad I have moved on to a more caring employer.

Pros

They were very safe and upfront with COVID precautions for their employees and customers. Employee benefits with deals and new item samples were great! They definitely made sure employees knew how to explain their sales and new items to customers. Fellow sales associates were pretty nice.

Cons

Management was pretty aggressive at my location. If you were confused about something and asked one Manager a question, you would later get yelled at from a different Manager for the way you did things because none of them were on the same page. Also for a place that gives you WAY less hours than promised, they really did put a ton of pressure on you to be perfect within your first few weeks there. May be a good job for someone way more hard headed, but not for someone with anxiety like me.
