Pros

Good Pay, Everyday is different, Great teamwork at the store, and a fast paced environment

Cons

Upper management has unreal expectations of what can be done at the store level. Would only recommend getting management positions at the larger locations as they are expected to do the same sales/transactions as the management at smaller/slower locations.

Pros

Amazing pay for the little you have to do. Commission is a large plus as well on top of the hourly wage. You'll save lots for needing no experience.

Cons

Everything else other than the pay is a con, customers are rude and often make inappropriate sexual remarks, management is atrocious, the company lowered the A.C. temp to 80 degrees during the summer (some days it would get even warmer) to "save money." Employees only get 10% off items, and often get written up because of "lack of 5 star google reviews" (at least 3 a day). This expectation was so unrealistic sales associates would pathetically ask customers to write a google review, even if they simply approached you just to be rung up. I would never work for this company again, it was a good 'messed up' opportunity for me to experience entering the world of sales and being a woman.

Pros

There was somewhat decent pay.

Cons

Treat employees like dirt. Dont handle harrassment well at all. Employees do not matter to them no matter how much they rave otherwise.
