Pros

The discount is 20% which is nice, yet not enough to make huge dent. you end up spending your whole pay check there. At least the girls I worked around did!

Cons

catty girls, life must be fashioned obsessed to be current and successful, the return policy is a joke!! All the money you make is from commission and once the item is returned you make nothing. AND because of the liberal return policy, most people buy thinggs, wear them, and return

Pros

Decent base pay, somewhat autonomous, great tip potential.

Cons

The company has changed for the worse since COVID. When I came back the mood of the entire store had shifted. Gone were the days of comradery, customer focus, and taking pride in a job well done. In its place there is a new culture of cutthroat sales, a severe decline in customer focus, and worst of all a new focus on profit over customer satisfaction. When I was told that the amount the store charged for a shoe shine was not enough to do the best job I could for a customer I knew things had gone downhill for the company. Not to mention I watch a manager prey on a mentally disabled person in order to secure a sale, when the person could not understand what was being offered. Sad that such a once great company is now just another greed ridden corporation.
