Pros

It's retail. Not glamorous, but it was fun. Prosthetics certification made the job more rewarding. Lots of autonomy re handling customers and issues. You dont need a manager to make things "right"

Cons

hours can be long and standing rough. A lot of random harassment/inappropriate calls to the lingerie department. Could often be funny but sometimes also alarming.

Pros

Decent base pay, somewhat autonomous, great tip potential.

Cons

The company has changed for the worse since COVID. When I came back the mood of the entire store had shifted. Gone were the days of comradery, customer focus, and taking pride in a job well done. In its place there is a new culture of cutthroat sales, a severe decline in customer focus, and worst of all a new focus on profit over customer satisfaction. When I was told that the amount the store charged for a shoe shine was not enough to do the best job I could for a customer I knew things had gone downhill for the company. Not to mention I watch a manager prey on a mentally disabled person in order to secure a sale, when the person could not understand what was being offered. Sad that such a once great company is now just another greed ridden corporation.
