Pros

30% discount on product. There really isn’t anything else worth noting.

Cons

Too many to count. Management is terrible and not supportive at all. Because of this the turn over rate is very high, leaving the store constantly under staffed. No sales incentives. Pay is terrible. No opportunities for growth. A lot of gossip/cattiness. A lot of pay check errors. There was a lot of theft and homelessness at the Emeryville location and very little to no measures taken to ensure employees safety. Very unsafe location and management is apathetic about the well being of employees.

Pros

+ I like the people I work with + I get to look at new products early

Cons

+ Most customers are dumb as rocks and you gotta explain everything in detail like they're 4 1/2 trying to bleach or color their hair... (Some people even try to do that literally and I have to tell them they cant,and guess who doesnt listen...) + Upper management doesnt care about you + You have to upsell a credit card with a huge APR % rate (35-36℅ as of rn) thats not even worth it (which in other stores they might fire you because you dont upsell it enough) + I sometimes have to buy stuff for the store that corporate wont buy for us cause our monthly budget for toliet/cleaning supplies is only 30 dollars and we can only get it from the amazon business page they give us and its either we have toilet paper or paper towels once a month , never both,just either or... + Year appraisals are rigged so you can never EVER get a 4/5 or higher because in their words "nobodys perfect" and also they dont wanna pay us more than 25¢ per raise.
