Pros

Company Customer focused. Money for solicitation of Credit and new incentives. Some loyal employees Most customers have shopped there for years. Modern Southern Style

Cons

Long hours, low pay, commission sales difficult to make more than hourly rate, Some Consultants don't care only want to sell and not complete tasks. Lack of advancement potential or difficult to advance due to politics in store management. Commission sales confusing. Expected to complete tasks like sale sets and audit practices during store open hours, when at best only two people on staff at any given time. Lunches spent most time with one person in an area. During holidays bring in extra staff, but not trained properly or confused about the actual job needing to be complete they want to sell instead of departmental tasks.

Pros

I loved my job. I’m met so many wonderful people. And the associates couldn’t have been better.

Cons

I hurt myself and had to have surgery, and I was on Worker’s Comp. with limited availability. Because hours were short in operations, they made up this crazy position and wanted me to be ”lead” of the markdown team. I knew that meant for the most part to do go backs. I told them I wasn’t allowed to be on my feet that long and so she said they couldn’t accommodate me and I had to leave. And then the manager had the nerve to call their workers comp and told them I wasn’t coming into work. The management at that time was horrible. But there was a time when I first started working there that to store manager, and the assistant manager were wonderful. We were all so sad they left, but it didn’t take this new manager that I was talking about any time at all to lose almost the entire store associates.
