Pros

Very nice physical environment. Management has excellent product knowledge and shared it generously. Exposure to very high end product lines.

Cons

Very slow foot traffic and a very high rate of returns which impacts your earning potential. The company is floundering in its efforts to survive the effects of online shopping.

Pros

My manager was very nice and would go above and beyond to help everyone she just didn’t have control and how many people would actually buy. If you are money hungry and have time to stay there and build a clientele it might work for you.

Cons

Full commission environment. If you don’t sell you don’t get paid. Everything is so expensive you have to find specific long term clientele in order to prosper. There is not a lot of foot traffic, you’re just standing there most of the day. You are micro managed even though you are a seasoned sales associate. Along with a commission environment you have to work with money hungry associates who have no respect or moral standards which is encouraged. When it comes to maintaining the sales floor and keeping the department up seasoned sellers believe they are above that and don’t care about the product they are selling just the monetary value.
