Pros
Great coworkers Supportive management Rewarding job Ability to work one on one with customers I've worked in retail since I was 16, and by far this is the most enjoyable job I've had. It is a super rewarding job where you really get to make a difference in the customer's life (versus just selling someone a random t-shirt.) The management at my location is the best I've ever had! They provide extensive training and are very willing to teach you anything you need to know and gladly answer any questions. Most employees are even cross trained into receiving or customer service positions. If you are having a difficult time selling, managers will work one on one with you to help you improve.
Cons
Low pay Weekends are the busiest (hard to take off) Slow season Base pay is $8.50 in Chicago and then you have to sell an average of $140/hr to pay the minimum commission. Being a Wedding Consultant is actually very hard work; especially on your body... carrying heaving gowns around all day. It would be nice to get a higher base pay.
