Pros

Free membership and discounted products.

Cons

Low hourly wage at every level (general managers don’t even make $15/hr). You make 10% commission on every sale, but the clientele is usually annoyed when you try to sell anything to them.

Pros

Great sales experience Really awesome starter job to get into sales/marketing and management If you stay here for a while, it will look really good on your resume especially because you get promoted quickly based on how well your sales are. You learn an incredible amount like customer service and sales

Cons

Terrible higher management like the district and regional managers. They are selfish and only care about how they look. They are not family oriented so it makes it difficult if you have children or a life in general. Even when you are not at work, expect constant calls from your store. The scheduling is terrible. I tried going to school while being an assistant and I literally had no time for studying. There have been many times that the GM only schedules one person during busy season. Many staff members and I have cried countless times during and after work due to the amount of stress and overwhelming amount of work that is expected of an employee... and higher management cares less as long as the store makes money and as long as they don't look bad to corporate. I feel like I am ALWAYS at work and I'm ALWAYS tired. The District and Regional managers belittle your character, are super unforgiving, and literally scare you when you see that they are visiting your store. That definitely should not be the case.
