Pros

The people you work with are absolutely great! You meet so many amazing people. I worked here just under three years and that is the only fond memory i have of this place. The scheduling begins simple but becomes increasingly harder once staff inevitably gets fired.

Cons

Where to begin? Management is unprofessional and unrealistic with expectations of employees. They never lead by example and often don't know how to do the simplest of task. The CFO Bob Gillman often harasses employees and will nitpick the smallest of irrelevant details. This causes a great deal of stress to the employees and will generate a disconnect amongst the employee and manager who has most likely just reprimanded them because of said irrelevant detail. The turn over rate here is ridiculous. Paragon struggles to keep employees for more than six months. It's a shame a company this big struggles to keep consistent employees.

Pros

weekly pay is good. There is also commission but it's not much. You make more money on the quantity you sell rather than amount. For example the commission on a $100 show is $1. Sell 10 shoes get $10 extra on your check. Sell a $1000 item get $10 dollars. Good culture at paragon though and atmosphere overall. very diverse team

Cons

lack of professionalism and structure
