Could be better

Pros

Staff was great to work with as well as store manager. Learned tons of stuff and loved my job in the beginning. Bonuses every month when making store goals. Pay was also good

Cons

After a year of being there they decided to only give bonuses when you made your month as well as stayed within your sph which was ridiculous with the amount of work expected. Would receive shipment 3 days before a floorset was due plus they wanted markdowns done with limited payroll. After 2 yrs of being employed received no raise. They expect you to be bc but not sale during those times but also make your sales goal for the week.

Pros

Friendly co-workers, good team atmosphere, decent pay by retail standards (still not much though), and flexible scheduling.

Cons

Monotonous work, difficulty getting hours, twice yearly reviews for part-time employees, constant pressure from corporate to resort to hard-selling, and continuous corporate restructuring that resulted in an atmosphere of uncertainty. Furthermore, several long-time associates, who were among our best employees, were let go to save money.

Pros

Decent pay. Good employee discounts

Cons

Very nasty women to work with. If you are younger, DO NOT WORK HERE! They will be sweet to your face and then walk away and be stabbing you in the back. Probably will be out of business within a year, they are NOT making what they need to.
