Pros

Able to make more with commissions.

Cons

During slow times minimum wage, no bonus. They push for good surveys but all associates get is a pen after 3 really great reviews. Also having commission associations seems to be a secret to customers.

Thanks for the review! We appreciate your insight on the potential for earning through commissions. We understand your feedback regarding slow periods, bonuses, and survey incentives. We strive to offer a competitive compensation package, including opportunities for earning above minimum wage even during slower times. Additionally, while we recognize the value of positive customer surveys, we're always looking for ways to improve associate recognition. Your insights about commission transparency are valuable, and we'll consider how to better communicate its benefits to customers and associates.
