Pros

- Awesome training...they really made sure you know the product and how to sell it. - Management really cared about the associates. - A very positive environment to work. - Communication between associates and management was easy, they made you feel like you could really tell them about any concerns you had. - Great products! - Hours were based on performance and if you did your job then you got the hours. This made the distribution of the hours very fair.

Cons

- Not enough hours. I could not be guaranteed even 10 hours a week. - Pay could have been a little higher but I understand because of the HUGE amount of people on staff. - Too many sales associates! - Discount could have been better. Usually using the coupons was better than my employee discount. So basically we received the same discount as the customers, which is great for the customers but not so great for the employees.

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.
