Pros

Upper Management seems knowledgeable and trying even though they are micro-managed to the hilt..does not leave much room for creativity and in sense their hands are tied. Hard to bring forth cohesive team efforts if agendas are so conflicted between management and sales personnel...sales personnel are the body, management the head....neither can exist without the other...clear rules need to be in place. Sales associates get paid so little, and bonus is a concern for them to stay....appalled at management persona that do not mind taking over in the middle of an associates's sale and escaping with the sales credit.....very tacky practic and associate seems to have no recourse. Concern is the customer who is totally annoyed with a SWITCH HIT when you have bonded with them....The CUSTOMER should be the main concern..afterall is that not what keeps you going as a COMPANY.....REPEAT and HAPPY CUSTOMERS!!! New Motto: Above the Standard, Good Customer Service is a GIVEN not a Gift... Managers....do you know what your Assistant Manager or Sales Lead is doing behind your back????? LOL

Cons

Addressed in Pros that should be sufficient.

Pros

Fun at times with conversations amongst employees

Cons

The pettiness The bad mouthing of current employees or past employees, if the manager was talking about them I am sure she was talking about me Manager gave out her phone number to all employees to contact by text or calls, when I had to text her , her reply back was condescending and not to pleasant. I got an apology the next day. She knew she was wrong She got a bad review because she did not present herself in a positve way when helping a customer, she talked about the previous management I had an upcoming date that I needed off and she knew but she scheduled me for that day anyway I was told there was a review about me apologizing to much? That was a lie, I looked at all the reviews none about me but she had a negative one about her I only apologized to my customers if we did not have a product or we did not fit their expectations Yes I did apologize to some employees, I was in training and learning. Im sure it was the fellow coworkers that complained I do have problems with my right foot and at the moment my nice pair of nikes was providing more comfort to my feet, and was told I needed a drs note? But another employee who his younger was wearing very dirty tennis shoes, not a good look if they a noticably dirty Not good training, barely had any
