GREAT PAY if you can SELL VERY WELL

Sales specialist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

HOURLY WAGE in addition to AWESOME COMMISSION STRUCTURE. If you can sell very well you will be compensated very well. You can make as much as an assistant manger or store manager just only as a sales associate (not kidding). You receive a pretty generous discount as well.

Cons

No health benefits for part timers. Even if you are the top sells person and demonstrate that you can beat your full-time counterparts (Store Mgr, Assistant Mgr, Third Key) unless one of those positions open up you will be stuck as a part-timer. This job is best suited for those who have a primarily bread winning job and need a supplemental part-time job. If you obtain a full-time position consider yourself very lucky.

Pros

Good product. Nice people to work with for the most part.

Cons

Corporate management is shockingly, willfully blind to things that are going wrong in the store... They use you, and do not appreciate you...
