Pros

The discount-- 50% off full price(up to $1,000 a yr)

Cons

-Lack of Quality of Life(50+ hours a week with no compensation, no relief, Not permitted to take weekends off unless using vacation days, Seldom able to take real/full lunch breaks) -Lack of Communication(Failure to respond to emails/correspondence,Area Manager for past year DOES NOT speak a lick of english. They sent help from Spain and none of them speak english) -Lack of planning and organization(For instance, will schedule based on Area Manager's arrival to States,but AM will fail to notify that she will not be returning til later. When she finally arrives, she expects you to CANCEL your days off(and your plans) so she can see you. When she comes to see you, she makes you work a 10.5 hour shift while you wait to see her. She takes a 2.5 hour lunch break and returns only on her convenience. She doesn't speak english ) -Lack of Growth(Empty promises aka lies) -Salary(Promised a raise after 3 months of increasing figures as new SM BUT never received a raise. Sales staff received positive performance appraisals and didn't receive their raises.) -Lack of benefits(No 401k, No holiday pay, No time & a half on holidays) -Vacation(Offered 3 weeks vacation a year, BUT they make it nearly impossible for you to take it--many black out periods that aren't even mentioned. And they will not pay you out either)

Pros

*Fun, positive, energetic, free, relaxed, entertaining environment *Meeting international clientele from many differnt cultures and countries *Free uniform pieces every few months from new collections *Opportunity to grow *Really nice, kind and understanding country manager *Promotions and gifts for clientele and occasionally employees *Beautiful, fun and eclectic clothes, purses and patterns with a cultural fusion print *Nice employees and management team *Salary plus commission *You actually create great bonds with customers who will come in ONLY when you're scheduled because they enjoy and love the experience they had with you

Cons

Hmm not really any. Occasionally I've had associates/management "steal" a client I was working with. We have a monetary goal to achieve daily so that can cause some friction. However once addressed it was resolved.
