Pros

best and only reason to work at sur la table is 40 percent discount on full priced merchandise. Customers often receive better discounts than employees on sale items.

Cons

Only store manager is hired to work full time. You must give up your life from October until January and work every weekend even if you have worked for years weekdays only. New hires are not trained but just thrown in for the holidays. Store quality has deteriorated significantly over the past few years. Stores resemble discount stores with lots of big sale signs and poor quality items.

Pros

Staff was friendly and willing to help through the hiring and training process, and tasks were shared evenly

Cons

Management implements rules that harm the flow of sales and make for terrible checkout lines. Scheduling was always done last minute and it was impossible have a stable work schedule due to last minute changes and no stable scheduling duties for managers
