Pros

Long standing company with a rich history. Loved the people that I worked with, and can make solid retail money if you have built a prospecting list.

Cons

Prospecting is very hard to do unless you have been there a very long time. It's 100% commission which can get very frustrating at times if you go days on end without a sale. The company really should put it's employees on an hourly wage on top of commission but I feel they would never even consider that. Also have to work long hours on the weekends, but that comes with working in retail. The job isn't for everybody and sometimes it can get discouraging if you are not making big sales.

Pros

They provided health insurance and 401K contribution

Cons

Very low additional pay for Sales Manager role. COMMISSION only job. Some months I made $14.00, other months I made $8000.00. I was Salesperson on the month many times and still never broke $50K year. LONG HOURS. Many people there work 12 hour days, just to get their sales numbers enough to avoid being fired. Upper management is "Old Boy" mentality.
