Pros

Free product, growth and learning centered, laid back atmosphere at certain stores, management corrects you by helping you learn instead of criticizing you.

Cons

Peak season is incredibly stressful, upper management does not want to hear what you have to say unless it is something they want to focus on, high pressure to make sales, conversion, etc. Also associate hours depend on SPAH(how many sales you get), but don't take into account when you work slow shifts.

Business Outlook

Pros

-Stores run on small staff counts, so having the right people on your team with the availability that works for your stores needs is perfect. Holiday hiring then becomes easier as well side you only need to hire 7-10 staff that will assist in sales, replenishment and shipments. -Customers drive themselves in, it is the staffs responsibilities to sell and up sell products. -Staff are accountable for their sales. Although non commission based reporting is pulled weekly based on their sales and hours are allotted on the schedule accordingly. Top sellers are the sellers you want on your sales floor most.

Cons

-Tenured staff are not accustomed to the personal sales goals and give push back which in not a company flaw but indeed may be used as a preparation tactic.
