Pros

Great Culture- They really try to get everyone on the same page with customer service. Benefits-The benefits are very good for a retail job Classes-the offer different programs to help you if you want to get into management

Cons

Horrible Hours- your hours are always fluctuating. This makes it hard to have an actual life outside of the company. Hard to move up-most stores it has become a popularity contest. If you don't know the right people you wont get promoted. Return Policy-or lack there of. If your working on commission the amount of returns you get really hurts your paycheck.

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.
