Pros

It pays over $20/hr (not anymore I dont think, though)

Cons

Literally everything else. I was here for two years. They change SOPs/expectations nearly monthly, it becomes impossible to keep up with KPIs to earn your bonus unless you cheat your way through which ends up screwing everyone else over. Hard to find anyone here who will tell you they dont absolutely hate their job and/or have poor mental health due to the job and negative environment. No advancement. You literally deal with rich people yelling at you all day every day and can do your best to help them and still get negative reviews from those brats and their opinions keep you from getting full pay.

Pros

Pay and commission can be good, but the structure is unnecessarily convoluted and not as generous as it seems, and you will have no work/life balance if you want to actually make consistently high commission. If you have a true passion for luxury and fashion, you do get a lot of opportunities to handle and interact with special/rare items, and depending on store location you can meet a lot of interesting industry people and celebrities, especially during Fashion Weeks

Cons

Poor and unsupportive management with extremely unrealistic demands and expectations; you will get virtually no training, but are immediately expected to know how to do everything. The overall company culture is just unpleasant and very cliquey, and there's constant employee turnover. The online customer service system is terrible, so you will frequently have to handle customer issues that have nothing to do with you/your sales.
