Pros

You get awesome discounts on high quality clothing! You get base salary plus commission!

Cons

You get awesome discounts on high quality clothing so you end up spending half your paycheck on it. Commission is actually 0.5%, so lets say you have a good shift and sell 2000 bucks in 4 hours (which almost never happens), only ten would go to you. Minus tax you end up with around 8.

Pros

There are a lot of talented, hardworking people at this company, which makes recent leadership decisions even more frustrating.

Cons

Communication around major organizational changes has been vague and inconsistent, leaving employees with significant uncertainty and little confidence in the direction of the business. Morale has declined considerably. Many employees feel that years of experience, performance, and institutional knowledge are being undervalued in favor of rigid policies and top-down decision making.
