Pros

I recently worked at the Asheville, NC location. The starting pay in decent & weekly pay. The only pros

Cons

It's impossible to make their numbers so your pay WILL be cut in six months. My job was constantly threatened by management EVERY day! I worked in cosmetics where it was impossible to make our numbers. Your best is never good enough, they always want more, more, more! It was absolutely the most depressing and poorly run business that I have ever witnessed in my life. Management turns the employees against each other in hopes of making them more competitive. There is ZERO trust in employees. You cant even carry a clear work bag. So "personal items" have to be carried in by hand. They absolutely do NOT value their employees. Very, very poor management!! Absolutely, without a doubt, the most depressing/stressful job I've ever had.

Pros

Store discounts People at work are great Let's go ahead with the cons... Technology is from the 80s.

Cons

No training! They just throw you in there and expect you to figure it out... when you're dealing with all of their dollars! Many times the buyer & the assistant haven't a clue what's going on because of the high turnover. People in the office refer it to a "revolving door" with the people in and out. Vacation is pretty terrible. Holiday.. nonexistent. ONE day for Christmas. One day for thanksgiving. Labor day but not memorial day. Expected to work in stores every saturday christmas-thanksgiving plus black friday AND CHRISTMAS EVE! This isn't supposed to be a retail hour job! Not to mention no compensation for all these days in the store!
