Pros

The store is beautiful. The sales associates are actually stockers most of the time. They don't really interact with the customers and push for sales. The associates work very hard to make the store beautiful. They are always rearranging the look to make the merchandise look fresh and new.

Cons

The store should push for sales. Have the associates interact with the customers and talk about the products. Have two cashiers during peak periods to upsell and make sure the check out process is smooth. Having the store as all Self Check might be a mistake. Many customers actually like having a cashier. They are not tech savvy and they don't want to ring up their own purchases. They struggle with the glitches in the computer system and the card reader doesn't work very well. They just want to buy their stuff and leave.

Pros

This job was a dream come true. I love the atmosphere, what the company strived for, the cute displays. I didn't even mind the fast paced work and constant overbearing work-load. I thought it was fun, a constant race against time against the new truck that would come and clog our backroom the next week. This place paid me very well but only because of the STL that hired me in believed in hiring for retainment and offered a great starting pay.

Cons

Confused Corporate. They would constantly send two or three different display sets and then decide all of them were supposed to go in the same place yet not allow mixing of sets. The culture is incredibly cliquey, if you're not in with upper management, you're out. You will get the cold shoulder, they will refuse to speak to you. If you perform poorly in their eyes you will hear about it but only because upper management thought it was appropriate to approach part-timers and associates instead of communicating directly. It's incredibly childish and high-school like.
