Pros

The company is very fair overall to its employees and there is plenty of room for advancement.

Cons

If you "miss draw" meaning you make only your hourly wage and didn't sell enough to make more in commission than your hourly pay, than it can lead to termination pretty quickly. In a slow department with a not so great economy miss draw can happen very easily.

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.
