Pros

-declining most overtime which gives you work life balance -gratis (free product)

Cons

New labor model causing a change in how many managers in each store which forced me to transfer to another location. This was unfair treatment especially because the other manager in my position was not forced only me. Sadly my location has a store manager that plays favorites and is unfair and because I am someone who has opinions and holds accountability I am not liked by her so she wanted to get rid of me. I learned from a past experience that expressing how you feel about your superior doesn’t get you very far and gets you judged. I am deeply disappointed that this is how a company treats someone who has valued their job and always went above and beyond. This job is stressful and if you don’t have a good manager you can feel discouraged, alone, and defeated.

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.
