Pros
- The paychecks look fairly nice in the busier seasons - The job is fairly easy, with mostly customer service and the organizing of various shoe styles on the shelves - Very flexible on hours - Very social work environment, where you get to interact with a bunch of different people each day - Not very labor intensive - You make commission off of a certain percentage of the sales you make each week
Cons
- You are paid bi-weekly - Customers are often rude towards the employees, despite your best efforts to be kind and helpful - You have to really watch out for stealing - Cleaning can be very tedious, and often frustrating due to the blatant disregard of customers to where and how things go in the store -The carpeting in the stores stays deeply dirty, for a vacuum can only do so much, so if you wear any light colored pants or shoes, often they will have turned brown or black in certain spots by the end of a day - Sales associates are not allowed to handle refunds or exchanges, so a sales associate at the counter must always hunt down the keyholders or manager in order to do such transactions - A few locations near military bases have stopped doing discounts for active duty or retired customers
