Pros

The work is fun and there sales training works. It is a company with high expectations and personal accountability but with recognition and encouragement such as with contests or bonuses. If you show leadership ability and willingness to learn you can move up. Pay is not great for an associate but as you move up it is very fair. They pay quite well for those with proven experience and those who are not afraid to show inititive. The discount is good 30% for associates and 40% for upper management or the current sale, whichever is greater.

Cons

Low salary for starting associates. Reviews are only done once a year. If you start less than ninty days before the review you are bumped to the next review in January.

Pros

Good discounts on merchandise, easy work.

Cons

I would have loved to purchase some of their products conisdering the 40% off discount for employees, but they failed to pay me enough to sustain myself let alone buy from their store! I was getting paid about $150 every two weeks! They never notified me about how little I'd be working or about what my schedule would be like, my shifts were completely random. If you want a set schedule each week. this job isn't for you, you're lucky to get 1 shift a week that only lasts about 3-4 hours. Once again, my supervisors failed to mention this, thinking it was more important that I know how to sell products than whether or not I get paid enough to survive. I don't know why there was so much emphasis on selling merchandise to customers anyway, these products practically sell themselves. I had a lot of questions starting out since I was a NEW EMPLOYEE and all and had never worked a job like this in my life, but for some reason my supervisors failed to see this and instead made me feel ashamed and embarassed for asking the simplest of questions. They'd actually get mad and a little sassy at me for asking a question, like where a specific item was or how to do a return. I have to remind you, I had just started and my shifts were so sporadic it was difficult to retain all the info, so I HAD to ask questions.
