Pros

pay is very decent. commission is based on personal sales. friendly working environment. Co-workers are nice regardless in a commission-based environment. received free wardrobing every month and great employee discount. Love the brand and company!

Cons

hours can be tough after holiday. Managers might send people home if the traffic is slow. even you are in a full-time position, you might not getting 40 hours a week.

Pros

Nice, competent coworkers. Great discount. Great benefits for full time.

Cons

Impossible to make commission. Non-commissioned managers ring huge sales under their names, leaving commissioned employees just short of their sales goals. Really, really low pay. Also, seems impossible to move up unless you're really pretty and perfect and willing to devote many years to the company before a raise.
