Pros

50% discount, sales goals and lack of organization or company support are so low that when you go to another store you'll be relieved

Cons

Sales goals YTD are increased astronomically. Their attention to scaffolding sustainable goals to drive performance over time is nonexistant. When I was there whoever was purchasing merchandise for the company was an imbecile. I don't know if they're still doing it, but they would sell healing crystal jewelry that was basically coloured resin. Furthermore, they tell employees they're going to give them raises (they pay well below other retail locations and hours are completely unreliable--one week you might work 39.9--because god forbid they have to start paying anyone benefits, the next you might get about 10 hours). They're ableist. Anyone with a disability is put down and they'll find any asinine reason to get them out. They sell merchandise from all over the world but have zero East Indian or Asian women in their marketing. I quit years ago and I've kept up with people who just haven't been able to move out of it--and honestly it's because they don't think they can do better. They can. Anyone can.

Pros

50% employee discount on some items.

Cons

There was little to non support from the company for stores that are located in inconvenient cities, making the store employees’ work duties extremely difficult. There were daily goals that were based on the previous year sales and were rarely attainable. These goals dictated how many hours you got, not how hard of a worker you were. My team lacked respected for other employees and it was common for work place bullying on a daily basis. Both managers I worked under basically did whatever they want, rarely following policy and committing illegal acts regularly. While I worked there for a few years I saw multiple employees get shorted money on their paycheck and corporate was in no rush to fix this, it took at least a month for some to get the money they were owed. After I left the company I was not told the last paycheck would be sent out by mail and my pay was sent to an incorrect address. HR was not very helpful and did not act like it was a priority to pay an employee. It has been over a month and I have still not received the last pay check. I would not recommend working for this company ever.
