Pros

No long hours on sales floor, flexible schedule, good benefits

Cons

Some managers show favortism. They rank you on the schedule. If you keep getting the not so good schedule, how are you supposed to move up to get the good selling hours. Each employee should get basically the same schedule. If you rotate everyone, then everyone will be there during peak selling hours and non-peak selling hours. Then everyone can succeed instead of just a handful of employees. I am a former employee. I was let go in January of 09. I was told I would be called back to work when sales picked up. I still have not heard back from them.

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.
