Pros

health & dental insurance 30% discount majority of customers are nice

Cons

Must make promo calls to customers who already get email & snail mail; disrupts reg. work, many get angry, "don't call" lists aren't updated. The rules apply until they don't ... store management seems to randomly decide when they want to change something, not thinking the whole thing thru so often revert back to the original rule until they make another change. While customer service is important, it shouldn't be @ the expense & dignity of employees. When a shopper is just irritable, the employee shouldn't be disciplined when they did everything correctly, professionally & according to (whatever) rules are in place (at the time).

Pros

* If you have an amazing team and management the day goes by fast. * Commission. * Easy to rely on foot traffic to meet goals. * If you ask for growth, they set thing ups that align with what you want, you just need to ask.

Cons

* If its slow, its SLOW. * There can be drama, it just depends on the department you're in.

Pros

good pay, good retired tech/fashion prop sales, hour long lunches

Cons

terrible work environment with whole bunch of eating disorder talk and projection at models (even from some management), management makes everyone stay until 4:30 even when all the minimum work requirement (and oftentimes more) is done, they will write you up for something extremely small then dismiss a big thing from another employee, terrible communication between managers therefore terrible communication to employees, employees get publicly ridiculed when they're just asking questions even amidst the terrible communication issues that are already there,
