Pros

The only benefit to this "job" is the free sunglasses after every year of working for them

Cons

First thing I am going to say is AVOID THIS PLACE they will screw you over every chance they get. -Terrible pay, associates make minimum wage no matter how long they have been working there, Managers have been leaving because they dont get paid enough. -THey will get you to try and take the blame for their decisions in the company, if you take the bame for them you get fired, if you don't take the blame for them you still get fired -They do not give you a reference no matter how long you have been with the company. -They pride themselves on allowing their associates to express themselves but that is a lie, you will have no identity hile working there, no tattoos, hair colors, or peircings. -Working alone every shift, so unless you close the store (which you are told not to do) you don't get a lunch, or bathroom break -A lot of pressure to prevent theft when you are alone. -Eyewear is accessible to all without any form of security, there are no security tags on any of the product -Not enough hours to make a decent living. Associate shifts were 3 hour shifts, but they were still expected to be available 7 days of the week. -Regional Manager will come in screaming at you for the smallest thing. -You will be expected to drop everything when you are called in, it doesnt matter if you have made lans for the next day, if you dont make this job your first priority then they will fire you.

Pros

Getting 1% of your sales commission every month + base play + bonuses depending on how well the store does adds up a lot. When I worked here, I was one of the best sellers in my district and my store was 14/21 in our district - which led to me making roughly $21-$23 an hour once you added everything up and divided by the amount of time that I worked. Stocking and pushing stuff to the floor is cartoonishly easy considering how small the sunglasses and that packaging actually is. AP is super easy because there's not that much ground to cover. The biggest thing is that this job basically lives and dies by how good of a seller you are and how much of a people person you are. 80% of this job is just about making sales and hitting company quotas and the other 20% is visual merchandising, operational management, making schedules, etc.

Cons

In my district, the district manager kept badgering us about our numbers and moving goal post for us even when we were off the clock and getting in touch with him was nearly impossible. They're also really nitpicky when it comes to how you allocate hours and how you schedule people - even when the store is already meeting company goals. There's also just a lot of straight up favoritism in upper upper management and a lot of nonsense decisions the DM just made because of "vibes" and nothing else. They pushed a lot of unrealistic goals for stores on super short notice and they came up with a lot of ideas that were just kinda trash - while forcing us to swallow it and to try to make it work.
