Pros

Pay would be the only thing that would be a pro and it's not that big of a pro if you are in management. But it is competitive for sales associates

Cons

Poor hours, there is always some small holiday that for some reason your area will be expected to do awesome. Little or no praise for a job well done. If you are an associate be aware that SPH changes all the time. Not so much how much you have to make but the rules of SPH. While in managment we have 3 rule changes in less them 6 months. You can get your pay cut for making your sph but not meeting average SPH. At one time our president said you could have 80% of your sph and be okay then it was changed a few months later to 95%. It caused a lot of pay cuts because people that were working hard just couldn't get sales were now expected to make up another 15% in less then a month because of reviews. Crap rolls downhill in a BIG way in this company

Pros

I gained good customer service and problem solving experience while working here. You learn how to multitask under pressure. I also gained experience gift wrapping(I found out I enjoy this part of the job a lot), shipping orders, and overall in store functions. I met many supportive and enjoyable coworkers while working here as well as memorable customers.

Cons

The main Cons of working here were: -Chronic understaffing -Too many responsibilities expected from one associate -Feeling unsupported by main management - Hard work and extra effort often goes unrecognized - High stress due to unrealistic workload expectations - Limited opportunities for actual feedback to management to actually improve
