Pros

- sometimes the service team doesn't eat all the food downstairs and we can fight for pizza - they used to have Lacroix on demand

Cons

- unprofessional/young management are inexperienced and poorly trained for their position - ridiculously high and unachievable quotas -no support system set up for sales associates -blatant favoritism of top sales people sub-point: I understand supporting and rewarding those who are achieving their goals. However, the way you schedule your employees and pay them for their work shouldn't been dependent if they were able to sell Susan $300 worth of Caslon shirts. Especially since "customer service" is the number one goal we are set to achieve. Hmmm right

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.
