Pros
Unlimited comission potential. Great people for the most part.
Cons
Don't really know where to begin. I was a sales associate for a year and a half. Seems like store happiness in terms of associates varys greatly with the quality of location GM. I had a great gm who was there for years, was fired and replaced by someone who was unapproachable and blatantly disregarded the concerns of associates. He also intimidated sales managers and added and additional 30 sales associates. This greatly reduced opportunity for assocites and numbers declined. There was a lack of promotion from within as well. When you have nearly 80 sales associates, many who have been waiting for an opportunity to move up, why would you bring in four new managers from the outside after the others quit? Horrible treatment of assocites in regards to performance. If your the type of person that needs to be left alone during even the slightest of sales slumps to get your mojo back, don't even think about working here. Corporate HR is a joke. They talk to hand picked associates during visits and turn a blind eye to complaints. Survey scores for gm and management from associates were awful and nothing was done.
