Pros

Canadian company, co-workers were the best, great head office staff, not much direct competition, this springs product was on point

Cons

Head office people were not on same page, constantly made bad decisions, and blamed stores for lack of sales. Issue was with bad product decisions, alienating our more mature customers that had the money to spend, shorting sales floor, and over complicating things. You had talented people that would of done anything for this company and now we are closing. This could of been prevented if upper management, design teams, and marketing had gotten their act together sooner.

Pros

Classy and professional place to work, decent sales training

Cons

Base pay is less than minimum wage, with 2% comission. Some of the sales people are more agressive. The company wants you to wear a current piece all the time so you will have to buy 1 or 2 items per season. They evaluate you on a grading scale that puts you in competition with everyone else in your store, your sales per hour are compared to the stores average sales per hour and if you are 110% above it you move up a grade and if you are 90% below you move down a grade. If you have a low grade for so many weeks you will be let go
