Pros

Awesome discount! a flexible dress code (you can wear jeans, leggings, or skirts to work). I honestly really liked all of my coworkers. Everyone was upbeat and willing to help you when u had a question. Interacting with customers one on one. and the ability to ring them up right on the floor.

Cons

no employee handbook. you are told to use your best judgment on things. or refer to the employee website. i so unfortunately many things like what u cant wear, u are not told about. loss prevention is very weird lots of pressure to open cards management basically encourages associates and other managers to throw each other under the bus its not how hard u work. its a popularity contest I worked 11 Friday and Saturdays in a row!!! no weekends off management got weekends off not associates

Pros

Good commission (for my department it was 10%), great coworkers—made amazing friends from my time here!! Opportunity for lots of commission $ during busy times.

Cons

Management is awful.. Plays favorites to an INSANE degree. For whatever reason I got onto the bad side of my department manager. Literally would call me into the office (taking away time on the floor to sell) to YELL at me until I cried for things that my coworkers got away with and didn’t even get so much as a talking to. Btw, what got me this treatment? Would be something pretty awful right? Coming in 5 min late. Big whoop. Also, management would promote people who quite literally had to take leaves of absence after having sexual harassment claims made against them… but then not only were they allowed to come back BUT also become floor managers. And what happened when he made it to that position? Literally got a sexual harassment claim again. I wonder how that could have been mitigated? The favoritism is so severe and unprofessional that when I was asking to get my job back for the holiday season I was told that there was nothing in the schedule available for me when in fact they were short staffed. And my coworker? The manager literally responded with “yes PLEASE 😍” yes. With the emoji. Grown man btw! Also, during that period the store was very shortstaffed with people quitting left and right. So, a lie.
