Pros

Better wage than comperable positions, good benefits, fair practices, open door policy with management including President of company, supportive of employees advancing from within, helpful and interested HR people. Overall a great working environment.

Cons

Perception as an exclusive employer are not completely unfounded. They look for the best people and in this business fashionable is better. Unfortunately in this commision based environment most people don't survive the salesfloor long.

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.
