Pros

I work in a pretty store, I am offered a good employee discount which they double several times a year, their are opportunities to do charitable work, most of the customers are very nice and we offer luxury products.

Cons

The negative management style starting with the store manager's attitude, trickles down. It has become a super micro-managed environment. My position is commission only, however, we are managed as if we are hourly earners that they must squeeze every moment to get their monies worth. If I'm not productive on my own, I don't earn anything. The online portion of the company is always offering promotions, sometimes dropping 1-2 days before the stores offer the same promotion. This is training the customer to wait for discounts, points, etc. but mostly to shop online. This contributes to the obsolescence of the brick & mortar stores. We have seen a dramatic drop in shopper traffic within the store.

Pros

* If you have an amazing team and management the day goes by fast. * Commission. * Easy to rely on foot traffic to meet goals. * If you ask for growth, they set thing ups that align with what you want, you just need to ask.

Cons

* If its slow, its SLOW. * There can be drama, it just depends on the department you're in.

Pros

good pay, good retired tech/fashion prop sales, hour long lunches

Cons

terrible work environment with whole bunch of eating disorder talk and projection at models (even from some management), management makes everyone stay until 4:30 even when all the minimum work requirement (and oftentimes more) is done, they will write you up for something extremely small then dismiss a big thing from another employee, terrible communication between managers therefore terrible communication to employees, employees get publicly ridiculed when they're just asking questions even amidst the terrible communication issues that are already there,
