Pros

The pay is 100% commission. If you like cleaning toilets while your manager and assistant manager are taking the customers that are walking in the door, this is the job for you.

Cons

Always thought there was something fishy about how employees were paid. A new class action lawsuit confirms my suspicions. No wonder corporate was talking about going to a 40 hr week (instead if the current 55 hrs) at the managers meeting this past August. They knew the lawsuit was coming. If you can sell, you'll get promoted to manager in about 18 months. Doesn't matter that you have no leadership skills. Employee turnover has to be among the highest in the retail industry.

Pros

There's a system to follow and it's an open ceiling to how much you can make.

Cons

The only con I came across over the years, is candidates lying on their resume's and wasn't willing to be coachable because they thought they knew everything.

Pros

Some of the floor staff are great people to work with.

Cons

The core issue here is a management culture that has completely decayed. It is an "old school" environment in the worst way possible—rigid, out of touch, and fueled by greed. There are blatant double standards where leadership expects total flexibility and "hustle" from staff, but offers zero support or fair treatment in return. The focus is entirely on the bottom line at the expense of employee morale. It feels like the company is stuck in a bygone era, refusing to modernize its approach to work-life balance or fair compensation. Career growth feels stagnant unless you fit into their specific "inner circle."
