Pros
I have a job 5 minutes away from my apartment , 20% discount on everything in the store plus whatever coupon we have going on at the time. (Coupons are extremely limited). Occasionally there are treats and jeans days.
Cons
I am a Sales Associate in the most busiest and messy part of the store. (READY TO WEAR) The responsibilities are unlimited and nearly impossible. Unrealistic sales goals, clothes everywhere, the kicker is we have a really big store and they only put one person to cover a large area. Customers are usually pissed and sappy. Due to limited staffing you are expected to do the job of three people. Let's talk credit cards, you're required to sale credit for each and every customer. Not only is it more of a nuisance to the customer it is a bug portion of your annual review. The sales goals are ridiculous! Some days I make it while others I'm scratching my head trying to figure out how am I supposed to make this goal? The icing on the cake is that if you don't make these unrealistic expectations the end of the year you are eligible for a pay cut by a $1 but if you do meet or exceed you only get a 10 cents raise.
