Pros

-Fun environment -Take great care of managers -Benefits -Room for growth

Cons

-Lower level employees have no voice -Although they promote teamwork, company change to commission converted stores in to an every man for them self environment. From lower to upper level management. -Great employees could be easily held back by bad situation in store or poorly located shop. -Associate position may never break min. wage (even with commission) -Consistently bad personnel decisions -Associates may have become too aggressive with commission change. Actually can be counter productive driving away guests -Work environment may tend to become unprofessional

Support of a large team. If my work load was getting heavy or I was planning on being out, I knew I could count on my team for coverage or help.

Business Outlook

Pros

Fun, fast paced environment and a great start for management. Its a great opportunity to learn about sales and grow your selling skills. If you have the right manager backing you, you will find many opportunities will find their way to you.

Cons

Pay to expectations ratio. High turnover with staff due to low pay and low labor budgets. Some things get swept under the rug by upper management and you will be ostracized. Lots of drama in district but that depends on where you are. Stress to hit stores sales goals and metrics. Awful work/life balance...your store will be your life.
