Pros

I went to the store and gave them my name and number I was told to fill out an online application and call the store back , once the manager saw my application she called me back for an interview , I had two interviews the second at another location and then the drug test. Interview process was fairly easy. The management and associates are very nice. , try to make you as comfortable as possible, the discount is great if you like shopping there 30% off pays weekly , good benefits

Cons

To much pressure to be a pushy sales man , it's really annoying to have to push customers to buy more or get this and that. Everything usually falls on the employees if the store isn't doing well in sales . Another thing is they don't have slot of payroll so usually there's only one person there to save money for the company which is sad

Pros

You get very close with the people you work with and its not a hard job at all. It draws you in and it's hard to leave!

Cons

The pay is awful, you hardly get raises, and you're expected to go above and beyond to reach sales goals which isn't even worth what you get paid. You start out at minimum wage unless you have retail experience then it goes up by 35 cents. Assistants and managers do not get paid for what they're worth.
