Pros

Good products, and great store level colleagues.

Cons

Corporate will terminate your employment based on the opinions of others and not take your side into account. HR also admittedly "does not have enough time to do the research" to see if you are actually in the right or wrong.  They also don't seem to believe in verbal or written warnings before terminating people. They do not believe in hearing your side, or giving you a chance to prove them wrong in their beliefs. They just blind side you, terminate you, and your side of the story does not matter. I know this to be a fact in at least 4 different employee's cases (some with the company over 5 years) . Your quality as an employee and your excellent report with customers is not taken into account at all. They just hide behind the fact that you are working for an "at will" employer. Knowing now their lack of consideration for the well being of their employees, glad I have moved on to a more caring employer.

Pros

Good discounts on merchandise, easy work.

Cons

I would have loved to purchase some of their products conisdering the 40% off discount for employees, but they failed to pay me enough to sustain myself let alone buy from their store! I was getting paid about $150 every two weeks! They never notified me about how little I'd be working or about what my schedule would be like, my shifts were completely random. If you want a set schedule each week. this job isn't for you, you're lucky to get 1 shift a week that only lasts about 3-4 hours. Once again, my supervisors failed to mention this, thinking it was more important that I know how to sell products than whether or not I get paid enough to survive. I don't know why there was so much emphasis on selling merchandise to customers anyway, these products practically sell themselves. I had a lot of questions starting out since I was a NEW EMPLOYEE and all and had never worked a job like this in my life, but for some reason my supervisors failed to see this and instead made me feel ashamed and embarassed for asking the simplest of questions. They'd actually get mad and a little sassy at me for asking a question, like where a specific item was or how to do a return. I have to remind you, I had just started and my shifts were so sporadic it was difficult to retain all the info, so I HAD to ask questions.
