Pros

Free stuff, comission style sales, the company has it pro's like benefits and 401k and profit sharing although they lack the representation to give each employee fair and similar treatment

Cons

Poor managment, favoritism. The company lost alot of its pro's when the economy hit an all time low. Instead of fun contests and energetic leadership the company now has more rules then ever and so many regulations of previous pro's that it makes it hard to enjoy much of the pro's.

Pros

Decent base pay, somewhat autonomous, great tip potential.

Cons

The company has changed for the worse since COVID. When I came back the mood of the entire store had shifted. Gone were the days of comradery, customer focus, and taking pride in a job well done. In its place there is a new culture of cutthroat sales, a severe decline in customer focus, and worst of all a new focus on profit over customer satisfaction. When I was told that the amount the store charged for a shoe shine was not enough to do the best job I could for a customer I knew things had gone downhill for the company. Not to mention I watch a manager prey on a mentally disabled person in order to secure a sale, when the person could not understand what was being offered. Sad that such a once great company is now just another greed ridden corporation.
