Pros

My manager Belinda was an amazing woman, I enjoyed working with her she hires a team of fabulous women. All there to help each other and of course the customers I enjoyed working with that team. We rocked.

Cons

The pay was not that good, its retail, no full time unless you were management. So no insurance.

Pros

Good pay, great discounts, and strong team. The discount was 60% off, the pay was good for a sales associate position, and the team was very good, always looking out for each other.

Cons

Rude customers, because it is an upper class store you tend to get customers who are very rude - expecting a lot from you and not very appreciative. Also, having to put every customer in the system to help with the strict return policy isn't great because a lot of customers don't want to be put in the system.
