Pros

The pay isnt too bad and if your in your early 20's it's a great place to meet other people/co workers. The discount is only 20% but twice a year it's 40% so thats a plus!

Cons

Managment are always stressed out because of sales goals and take it out on employees. HR is a joke! They underpaid me for 6 months and when I found out they didn't do anything to fix the past just changed my commission rate so that it would be what it was supposed to be the entire time!

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.
