Pros

Competitive pay. Fun work environment. Great customer interactions. Awesome deals on product and merchandise.

Cons

No teamwork ethics at all. Schedule structure broken. Get used to customer threats. Lots of stolen and broken merchandise. ROACHES in every store. Eggs probably in all the product you buy. Company policys are 100% strict on managers, but employees get away with everything. Company bumps managers up only when they need a replacement. Company fires you the chance they get. Company requires 47+ hours a week and 53+ during holiday season. Staff structure requires management to do everyone's job everyday. No life outside of work. Store of the month gets a cheap plastic medal to display. Cant even give head coach a plaque for recognition or even a hand shake from owner. Could go on and on....

Pros

Work is easygoing at my location. Few customers who cause a commotion. Supervisors are supportive, but not always there for you as it seems like there is a lot on their plates. Opportunity for commission and bonuses.

Cons

I was scammed when I applied. They did not offer me an additional $2 for being bilingual. I applied for the jewelry sales position but that role basically doesn't exist. You are just a regular sales associate. The way the store is ran is disorganized and communication is not consistent. You will be standing all day. Commissions schedule is not clear. Barely any training while on the floor. You are thrown into the deep end immediately. Also the hours are really weird: You do 6, 7, 9, or 12 hour shifts - doesn't make sense. there is No break room. when i need a manager, i cant even leave the sales floor because there always has to be one sales associate on the floor
