Pros
-team oriented -personal growth opportunities -great discounts on clothes and perks for studio memberships -relatively easy to move up WITHIN the store
Cons
-Pay is VERY low for the amount of hours, effort and expectations for managers. It is also inconsistent as the "bonus" each month is dependent on your sales/hours worked. It's also important to note that the SSC (corporate) changes the hours allotted each month and often it does not support the traffic. Therefore, if hours are low for the month, only a certain amount of people are able to be scheduled (PT cut first from this) and we are frequently short staffed as traffic varies. -heads up: if you work in the stores, the SSC (corporate level) does NOT hire internally from their store employees, even if over qualified... even though they preach "pipeline" and "career development". *For reference, I worked at 4 different stores over the course of 7 years in many roles, completed my MBA, and never got an interview for the 20+ jobs I applied for within the SSC... many of which were entry level jobs.
