Typical retail bs. but with great staff

Pros

Working with fantastic people, management is flexible in terms of your schedule. Opportunity to work in all aspects of retail; from working the stock room to the sales floor or registers.

Cons

Hours are hard to come by. Management is visibly upset when sales are not going as well as the previous year. Break room is a nightmare in terms of the the amount of space provided and lack of amenities

Not worth it

Pros

Pay is ok and they have a good bonus structure

Cons

Total boys club at the top - they just removed a couple of top women who were driving sales in favor of putting someone from innovation in charge of design which makes no sense.

Great environment for retail with good product selection in a brand new outlet and an awesome manager!

Pros

Good training program for a brand new outlet team. They flew in another manager/trainer for a week's worth of product and values training. A store manager makes or breaks a retail working experience and I lucked out and am glad to work for our current one - days off are always accommodated and the company provided lunches for the first few weeks while we were getting the store set up. Ballistics/profit share is a nice, albeit small, bonus at the end of the month. There's always new sales every week or so and the employee discount is applied on top of it.

Cons

Hired part-time but holiday hours were 40+ per week for many of the employees (not unusual for retail though). No room for promotion or benefits and all employees besides management are part-time. Has high turnover that's expected for retail.
