Pros

Good starting pay, overall great work environment with great coworkers. They train you well and genuinely care about you, for the most part.

Cons

The managers have way too much incentive to push cashiers to reach certain numbers, while providing no positive incentives for the cashier to do so. This creates a serious relationship problem where the cashiers just feel resentful cause they're never good enough. There's also very little opportunity for upward mobility. Understaffing is also a major issue.

Pros

Employee discount varies depending on the brand Barely any discount on Apple products

Cons

You get paid $4.00 an hour plus 1.5 or 1.8% commission The store doesn't open until 10am you still get paid $4.00 an hour if your scheduled for a 7/8/9 am shift which is not good because there's no way of selling if the store is closed. the company should be paying employees that work before 10am shifts an hourly rate. The Brooklyn Store is very very dusty and dirty and has Rats. Don't want to give employees that work a Full time hours Full time benefits and keep the employee under part time with part time benefits. Coupons are annoying because if the customer uses a $50 off coupon you only get the commission of the remaining balance of the products Need more Female sales associates The Brooklyn store is sexist against females as in promoting them to other departments that nots General sales System employees barely work General sales have to put away over 5 rack of merchandise every Tuesday Thursday and Friday for $4.00 an hour the Brooklyn store barely has any room for merchandise so everything is over cluttered and messy and disorganized

Our Brooklyn store has been completely reset and we are looking forward to additional retailers moving into our building. We have several new managers including a new General Manager. Our Regional HR Manager is in the building at least once a week if there are issues that need to be addressed. Our goal is to make your work experience a positive one and it appears there were issues that did not get addressed before you left. I hope you will contact me directly at 614-850-3151 to discuss your concerns. Angie Miller VP - HR
