Pros

The customers are great. The environment is great.

Cons

The Company really don't care about the little guys in their company. I was promised 20k more in my initial hiring. I ended up with only 11.50 and hr. I was promised great commissions but ended up with a store that only generated maybe $50.00 a week in comms. The other stores were generating a lot more revenue and I was promised a store in a more higher end mall. I kept getting passed over for the Buff and Young type of person with little to no experience in business. I know now that unless you are young and one of the "pretty people" or a close personal friend of the District Manager you are not getting anywhere quick with this company. to many promises never fulfilled
