Pros

Coworkers and supervisors are awesome. Schedules are flexible, with many sick days allowed. Pay can be very good if you can sell well.

Cons

If you don't enjoy retail, dealing with customers is frustrating and mundane. 6 months minimum required to advance to the sales floor. Minimum wage if you don't manage to sell anything.

Thanks for sharing your experience. It's great to hear that you liked the team, the flexibility, and the earning potential. Customer service in retail definitely has its challenging days, and a base-plus-commission structure means your pay directly reflects those sales. We also appreciate your feedback on the timeline for moving to the sales floor. Wish you the best in your next role! Best - Jennifer Rex - Senior HR Generalist – 614.850.3153

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We take all employee concerns seriously, as they help us identify areas where we can improve the associate experience. Regarding your comments on compensation, we’d like to clarify that our General Sales associates operate on a commission-based structure. While the base rate is $4.00 per hour, when combined with commissions, the average earnings for our sales team currently come out to around $21.00 per hour company-wide. This model is designed to reward performance, and we regularly evaluate our compensation to ensure it remains competitive. We aim to balance clear standards with a supportive environment, and we will take your feedback into consideration as we continue to refine our approach. Thank you for your time with us.

Pros

Discount of 5% above costs on items

Cons

Zero structure. Corperate is out of touch with store level employees, will have quick and unmeaningful converations with employees during visits. In store leadership rules by fear of termination. Little growth potential. Salary staff of supervisor level do not bonus. 50+ hour weeks for supervisor staff
