Pros

There is a good discount. It's also a well-respected department store. There is also a good chance of promotion in this company because you can work your way up pretty easily.

Cons

The people you work with can be very superficial, and snobby. This also goes for the customers. The pay is not that great. Also, the support team was never really recognized for their work. They also were not included in a lot of the store meetings, which were not that important anyway. They were pretty much fashion shows.

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.
