Pros

Gratis and make friends. That's all.

Cons

Elite selling culture, dont expect hours except during holidays and semi annual, unpredictable schedule with call ins, if any life changes happen expect to not have a job. These are just the surface of a very ugly company. I used to be the 3rd best seller and got 26 hours a week. When I got pregnant they cut my hours so now in I'm only working once a week! I tried bringing this to management's attention and their response was "it's happening to everyone"...I call BS because the new manager hired a crap ton of people. If there were no hours to give why did she hire all these new people!? On top of all this, only a few accommodations were made for me....it was called not scheduling me, because apparently that's what you do to pregnant women. Such a terrible, anti-pregnant women company. Avoid this company of you plan on starting a family!

Pros

Good discounts on merchandise, easy work.

Cons

I would have loved to purchase some of their products conisdering the 40% off discount for employees, but they failed to pay me enough to sustain myself let alone buy from their store! I was getting paid about $150 every two weeks! They never notified me about how little I'd be working or about what my schedule would be like, my shifts were completely random. If you want a set schedule each week. this job isn't for you, you're lucky to get 1 shift a week that only lasts about 3-4 hours. Once again, my supervisors failed to mention this, thinking it was more important that I know how to sell products than whether or not I get paid enough to survive. I don't know why there was so much emphasis on selling merchandise to customers anyway, these products practically sell themselves. I had a lot of questions starting out since I was a NEW EMPLOYEE and all and had never worked a job like this in my life, but for some reason my supervisors failed to see this and instead made me feel ashamed and embarassed for asking the simplest of questions. They'd actually get mad and a little sassy at me for asking a question, like where a specific item was or how to do a return. I have to remind you, I had just started and my shifts were so sporadic it was difficult to retain all the info, so I HAD to ask questions.
