Pros

Nice product to sell - great customers and good benefits.

Cons

Good benefits but no time to take off for vacation or holiday. Long hours and a different sale every two to three days. Pay scale is way under national average. Sales staff can barely make above minimum wage and expected to reach unobtainable sales goals. Very difficult for smaller stores - about 80% to 90% in company to make a decent wage. Also commission positions are expected to do shipping and receiving as well.

Pros

40% discount and the music is good benefits are okay

Cons

Too much mandatory paperwork to keep up with when dealing with customers during prom, wedding, and graduation season. While simultaneously keeping up with the cleanliness of the floor when customers treat it like it’s a primark.
