Pros

20% discount and occasional double discount....but scheduled in between paydays.

Cons

Trimming down staff, managers doing the work ten associates. Decreased staffing. New owners are invisible. They do not interact or communicate with lower management or associates....only the oily, fake personalities of upper management. They just want to make back the 3 billion they spent to buy the company.

Pros

20 percent employee discount and paid holidays and vacation

Cons

Overworked and underpaid. Too many presales, too high of goals, capture emails, capture phone numbers, call customers, sit customers down...it's NEVER good enough for them...always chastised for SOMETHING. Too many high expectations.....hard workers get no rewards, lazy one's get away with laziness and smoke breaks. Everyone ends up with the same 30 cent raise no matter how hard you work. Your year end review is set up for that 30 cent measly raise. No matter how perfect you are in making goals, wearing dress code/uniform, being on time, not being wrote up, dedication and years in the company.....it doesn't matter. I had an elite sales award from my brand and the only counter with an increase for a year and got the same raise as someone that had a huge deficit at her counter, takes two fifteen minutes smoke breaks every hour!!! Management needs training. Most are unprofessional. I was told from a rating of 1 to 5 on parts of my review, that the company NEVER gives a 5 on anything. You can wear your uniform everyday, have manicured hands, full face makeup on and shined shoes and still get a 4.... because the review is set up for low raises. BECAUSE YoUR NEVER GOOD ENOUGH AND THEY DON'T VALUE GOOD EMPLOYEES!!!
