Pros

You get commission based sales

Cons

If you want an actual part time job don't work here they had me working 38 hours when I was in college. Told them I couldn't work more due to classes and I expected the hours to be shorts only gave me 3 hours less a week. When hiring me I informed them I needed to be on bereavement due to grandparent and said yes when hiring me. Took it back when grandparent actually passed, quit the next week after.

Pros

Decent base pay, somewhat autonomous, great tip potential.

Cons

The company has changed for the worse since COVID. When I came back the mood of the entire store had shifted. Gone were the days of comradery, customer focus, and taking pride in a job well done. In its place there is a new culture of cutthroat sales, a severe decline in customer focus, and worst of all a new focus on profit over customer satisfaction. When I was told that the amount the store charged for a shoe shine was not enough to do the best job I could for a customer I knew things had gone downhill for the company. Not to mention I watch a manager prey on a mentally disabled person in order to secure a sale, when the person could not understand what was being offered. Sad that such a once great company is now just another greed ridden corporation.
