Please don't work here, I don't want anyone to have to deal with what all employees go through
Pros
The friends I made and the experience I gained. As much as I and the employees who work here despise it, you gain a variety of experience but it is an awful place to work.
Cons
Here we go... Basically maybe some people will like this job. Work here if... 1. You don't need consistent hours. If it's not season you will get less than 10 hours almost every week. Literally impossible to live off of. Management thinks they are doing you a favor by giving you rare extra hours. Management doesn't even care that you have no hours, they don't feel bad and the most selfish people I have ever met. They have a guaranteed 40 a week while every employee is getting 4-16 hours, Those measly hours are multiple shifts, Tilly's loves to give 2-3 hour shifts which is my gas getting there... 2. You enjoy being extra annoying. I don't understand if corporate is so stupid that they actually think yelling at us to be annoying and making us offer additionals and check up on customers 18 times will work. People will come to you if they need help aside from an initial greeting, they hate being followed as much as much as we hate doing it. Most employees don't even do it. 3. You want to work with unproffessional management. I'll leave it at that. 4. You want to do a ridiculous amount of work for minumum wage. The fact that they expect you to buy clothes with your pathetic 20 percent disount is laughable. They occasionally give a 40 percent discount and act like you need to stock your wardrobe with Tilly's products. I don't understand how you think we can afford that when we have no hours. They set sales goals for us, keep track of sales, and expect constant communication over the walkie FOR EVER LITTLE THING YOU DO. We don't work at Nordstrom why do you keep track of sales? Most people come in knowing what they want it's just about who gets to the person first or who hovers at fitting rooms. Most people cheat to get sales, it's a known thing among all employees, it's the most unfair system, and a joke that they actually base hours off of that. I honestly feel bad for a a couple of my managers and coworkers who have been there for a while and are great people. They are so much better than Tilly's, I can't understand why they would stay there and be miserable. I'm not an angry employee, I was here for months and actually enjoyed my job, but once I realized how much I was disrespected and treated like garbage, I found something so much better. There are so many jobs 100 times better than Tilly's that treat you better, pay better, give better and consistent hours, and that you can actually live off of. So basically if you're an annoying person who loves to bother people, don't mind being treated like garbage and working like a slave and you need maybe 60 dollars a week(don't expect anymore with Tilly's hours lol) then work here. Otherwise please find something else, I would never recommend this job to everyone and honestly feel bad for anyone that is stuck in that nightmare of a "job".
