Thanks for your review! It's great to hear you're happy with your coworkers, the employee discount, and the commission pay structure. We recognize that retail scheduling, with its varied shift times driven by customer demand, can present challenges to work-life balance, and we aim to provide flexibility where possible. We know you mentioned base pay; our sales roles have a base rate, but the real opportunity is in the commission, which can bring the total average hourly earnings significantly higher. Right now, our General Sales associates are averaging about $21.00 per hour throughout the company. We appreciate having you on the team! Best - Jennifer Rex - Senior HR Generalist – 614.850.3153
