Pros
-no nametag, freedom to dress nice. -good hours during holiday season with the range being 15 to 20 per week. -product you're selling is unique and chic.
Cons
-high turnover rate and low morale. -the 50% off employee discount is actually a con because you wont even be able to afford anything. -terrible hours allotted in the non-holiday seasons. -Sales themed employee bingo and other miscellaneous "contests", with no real incentives. You get an extra 15 minute break if you complete the bingo sheet. WOW. Sometimes, only sometimes, you get a $5 coffee giftcard for selling the most in a weekend. DOUBLE WOW. -being scheduled for "On-Call" shifts. that's when they don't know if you're needed to work. So they want you to call in two hours before your supposed shift just to see if you're allowed to come in to work or "enjoy your day off" at their discretion. 99% of the time you're "not needed". -the commission is a complete joke, the way it works is that when the store does well OVERALL. everyone gets a bonus. that rarely ever happens. in 2013 everyone was able to make an extra $200 bonus for christmas. in 2014 the store doubled what they made from the previous year and we did not get a single christmas bonus. -Kate Spade 1812 in Cabazon, Ca is the number ONE outlet store in all of the united states. They reached an unheard of milestone of 15 million in 2014 and only management recieved a bonus. They even have the audacity to cut everyones hours do to "the needs of the business", according to an employee email which to me is pretty cynical. -stagnant opportunities to succeed. -there is no feeling of being a part of a team. its management's "me first mentality" vs everyone else. -last but not least, 5 to 10 hours per week is what everyone gets. Some employees don't even work for two weeks at a time yet they constantly hire new people.
