Pros

The employee discount. 50% everything is pretty cool- even though that's what the cheap product SHOULD be worth in the first place. Some of the people are really cool.

Cons

Little to no training on anything that you do. Typically, management will just be like 'here you go, go make sales'. Then, they'll proceed to get upset with you as you make a mistake on the POS system- a system they didn't teach you anything about, and is also extremely out dated. They fling out verbal and written consultations like it's in middle school. Although managers say that they want 'everyone to make goal this month!!', they always ring under themselves. Always. Employees were twenty, maybe even thirty percent down for the month and the managers were thirty to fifty percent above. They just care about their bonuses that they get at the end of the month. Everything here is cheaply made. Seriously. There are sweatshops, nothing is 'hand made in Nepal'. It's a great job if you want to learn how much you hate people. Management gets mad at you for things you weren't taught. Employees know this, but as soon as someone speaks up, they get fired.

Pros

At earthbound there is always a very welcoming feeling and smell as soon as you walk in. Meeting people from all over the world just to see our store is amazing to me. People say they feel comfortable at our store which is a great feeling. Learning about our products is one of my favorite things, considering our buyers travel all over the world.

Cons

There isnt very many downsides except when people stereotype our store as being satanic in a way. The main downside is the crazy hours andnhaving to inventory.

Pros

The team you work with in the store. The products you sell. The discount is the main reason why a lot of people work for the company.

Cons

Bonuses, salary, benefits, operational hours, expecting a lot for little pay and not a lot of hours to do everything needed, management is obligated to work on the weekends. As a manager you have to work 40 plus hours per week, but you are salary. You clock in and out. You have to work a minimum of 8 hours on the weekends. Your district manager doesn't usually live in the same area as your store.
