Pros

Pay is ok for the type of work. Good employee discount

Cons

"earth friendly" yet buys 99% of their stuff from China. Lies to customers about fair trade and handmade when again, all this is from China. Acts like employees are working for commission yet doesn't pay commission and has insane sales goals and punishes employee numbers when it comes to selling clearance items because they want every sale to average at least $30. Pushing to sell sell sell when people hate being hounded about sales. No upward mobility at all. This job is super corporate for what it is and it is not a good place to work. If you want to be treated like Verizon sales go work for Verizon and get commission.

Unfair Business Practices

Pros

Flexible schedule, customers are generally nice and fun to chat with

Cons

Hours are based on sales. Unrealistic sales goals for the area the store is in. Thus leading to understaffed shifts & not enough hours to make more than $200 a paycheck. But management expects staff to be enthusiastic and go the extra mile 100% of the time. It's hard to care deeply about a job if employees are having to work 2 jobs just to get by on top of being overworked on shifts where they are alone.
