Pros

Offers deep discount to the employees and therefore great savings. Good environment, professionalism and customer satisfaction. Good for students as part time job.

Cons

Too much work, too many sales, need to get more training for the newly appointed employees, not many cash registers, too much load.

Pros

Working in the shoe department, you make commission which is nice during the holidays. Management is pretty respectful and they never seem to have a bad attitude. You're always busy, so the days go by pretty fast. You also are encouraged to give feedback to coworkers and customers are encouraged to review associates (online) so you are praised directly from your peers and your customers. Pretty flexible in scheduling.

Cons

Commissioned sales can be bad for relationships among coworkers (it gets competitive) and if you don't make enough $ in sales to earn commission, the base pay isn't much. You're pushed to get customers to open credit cards and they'll call you out if you don't make goal.

Pros

Co-workers were helpful and friendly, schedules were fairly consistent so it was easy to plan things around work, discount was decent.

Cons

Really poor store management, no feedback given until review time so you were always blind sided by what they actually thought of you.
