Pros

You can gain valuable sales experience, while perfecting your interpersonal skills. It is a great entry level sales position. You can really get going here.

Cons

Terrible Corporate Management. They will fire you on a drop of a hat. A lot of disconnect between corporate goals and local retail attitudes.

Pros

Benefits, 401k, not much to state here other than sales are down the last two quarters.

Cons

Must sell over $130 in foreign made items with every suit you sell or lose your job. Prices on products change at least three times a week from BOGO to half off 2nd item, to no sale price, creating lots of returns and confusion. Ownership lacks leaders and management is running scared.

Pros

The worst company on earth, I was a top company performer moved to 6 different stores in 4.5 years. I was sent to these stores to clean them up and show the other managers how to manage not just steal sales from $5.00 an hour employees. The merger was a horrible joke! The company keeps tanking fired all of the VP's and DM's except for the worst one who was my regional. They fill the store with 2 good sales people and "bodies" which are just usually men over 60 and ready to retire who don't sell just except terrible wages and mediocre benefits untill they can retire. It is NOT a livable wage and they do NOT care about their employees empty promises and false hope. Anyone who approves of this company is a moron simply a moron store managers make maybe 50k and work 60 hours. Sales people and keys make maybe 24k a year because there is no buisness anymore at banks. They no longer can give you answers for anything if you have an issue you get a voice mail and transfered about it 10 times. Oh yea and forget getting paid your terrible commission properly I was probably the only person who realized my check was wrong every week!!!!!! DON'T WORK here they are closing stores not opening them unless you want 300 a week to bust your but and be abused by upper management with no reward.

Cons

Everything I listed above is enough
