Pros

The customers that shop at this store are actually the sweetest people ever! Some of the clothing are cool, too pricey

Cons

Company does not have direction. Instead of hiring managers, sales associates work hard to fill these positions with little pay. If you don't reach your goal you get in trouble by the owner of the store. He’s not worried about sales associate, just about money. Constantly putting them down, instead of encouraging them to do better. Every time a shopper would inquire about the material of the clothing, "management" simply would say polyester or a mix of materials; which makes no sense to me. How can you run a company, when you don't know the material of the merchandise you're selling? After the interview process, I was offered a temp position to show them my working abilities. This was part of the hiring process. I truly was used just to fill in for the sample sale. Later, I realized this job was extremely unprofessional and a waste of time. No sense of order whatsoever! Owner use and abuse the associates to sell sell sell (Overkill) without commission, corresponding to the craigslist ad! I worked a whole week from 11-8 with a 15-20 min break! They decided to let me go on a Saturday because I couldn't work the following Sunday; which was the next day (Easter Sunday) I have so much to say. That’s it for now.

Pros

You meet and work with great people. I learned absolutely everything I needed to learn when it came to sales. This job has molded me in who I am today thanks to one of the great creators of the Pinkyotto Brand. I am very grateful to have given the opportunity to work here.

Cons

I honestly can’t think of any cons besides if you’re not ready to be pushed to be the best you can be I wouldn’t work here. In Pinkyotto you make your money but you have to work hard, just like I believe you should in any job.

Pros

The pros at this company are the people. You work closely with other sales associates and get to develop a bond with them. You also get to work closely with customers, often who come in frequently. Building relations with both is fun and important!

Cons

The cons to working here are the hours, the management and at times the quality. They set sales goals and hold you at a very high expectation. At the time I was hired I was thrown into the job with minimal to no training and never really adjusted to the company culture which can at times be a very toxic environment. Management is aware of this but I saw little efforts to improve it. The company is extremely small so news gets around fast and can be extremely gossipy. You work from 11-8ish every day with no real break. As you work on commission, hitting your sales goals is important but is also very hard at times. There have been multiple times I have lost a sale because of the poor quality of some items. The clothes are also marked up incredibly high. Unfortunately, when I was hired I was told that all items are personally designed by the designer which I later found to not be true and felt like I was lying to customers which made me very uncomfortable.
