Horrible place to work

Sales manager
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

The pay scale is good.

Cons

You will earn your paycheck the amount of verbal, emotional and sometimes physical abuse you have to endure at this job. Horrible place if you have any kind of life. They expect you to give up everything for the good of the store and expect that you do it with a smile. Managment or above get bonuses off the hard work of associates, and associates, full time or part time, see nothing. 2.5 percent raises bi-yearly on raises for managment.
