Who’s really in charge?

Pros

Great discounts (50%) and also “merchandise quota” if a store makes its monthly sales goal. This translates into $800 a month in tax-free merchandise. Corporate culture is fun and upbeat. Great for design-oriented or fine arts personalities.

Cons

HR seems to be weakest link. No manager training. Hiring sales associate staff has been a huge struggle. Corporate HQ offers no support in recruiting, applicant screening, hiring or training. They do provide a minimal budget for advertising an opening but that’s it. You’re a store manager; you need to hire. You have to stay in shop and keep open. You cannot hit the pavement.
