Pros

Gratis. I had to sell because the pay is horrible

Cons

Low ball on hourly wage. Hours are constantly being cut store is slow and not making goals. 1% commission if store make goals. No time and a half or holiday pay. Yearly raise takes effect Jan 1st is NOT retroactive on hire date. Watch your pay checks!! This company cuts corners where ever there is one. They dont care about the employees they hire. There is no expanding and career opportunities in this company. DEAD END JOB.

Pros

Business hours and get to meet some great clients

Cons

Lack of recognition for hard workers. No pay increase. Some employees are getting paid 30+ an hour at most stores and complain about a couple of cents from pay increase where people like myself is getting paid $10 less with no pay increase. Full time employees will do the most work more than anyone else, including management. Management also receives the most recognition over the employees that do the most work. This company has been bought out by Macy’s so I don’t think they care to hear what employees have to say.
