Pros

The pay is pretty good for South Florida.

Cons

They play favorites. You have to work inhumane hours. There is no balance between your personal life and work. You are expected to come in early and leave late every shift. Otherwise, you are not doing your job. There is no support at all, and you get talked down to all the time. It is a negative environment and drains all your joy. There is a lot of shady stuff that goes on at that store, but if you kiss the store manager's butt enough the other cheek is turned. Do not believe in the open door policy. It is a crock of crap.

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.
