Pros

great coworkers, excellent training with "coaching" sessions to help you sell and better succeed. their way of customer service and sales coach is top notch--other companies will be impressed with you once you've worked here and succeeded at being top seller/million dollar seller. their inventory and client track program makes it easy to sell as well, lots of tools to help you.

Cons

pay is so, so, low! do not let the manager hire you at minimum, should be more, as much as you can because realize that they have a 1-5pt scale where if you are the number one seller (sales associate like i was) you would not get above 3% pay raise; unless you get promoted they say they compensate with the PIP (a percentage of your salary if you've worked for more then x months and over 1000 hours) and they have coach bucks (can only use at coach) and team share (which is very little unless you're lucky enough to work at a huge store that is tiered high and get enough hours to reach the max on team share)

Pros

- fast paced days with lots of client interaction and team building moments - fun product dropped monthly with opportunities to be the first to own popular drops - opportunities to grow* - a great starting place to learn how to provide an elevated shopping experience and learn how to build a client book

Cons

- * Opportunities to grow only present themselves if you have a positive relationship with the management team and/or the DM - Corporate tends to lead on candidates and promise advancements or change verbally but little is done to correct behavior or advance within the company - Your store manager will determine whether the team is harmonious and fair, can be a double edged sword - you will be asked to do tasks or take on projects outside of your position with no additional compensation. It will be heavily frowned upon to decline said opportunities and tended to lead to being denied advancements - during ICE activities in the city, Coach refused to make a statement and or provide guidelines to how we as a store should respond. Associates were punished for absences related back to ICE activities
