Pros

Sales floor is fun to work on, you can meet some great people that work there also.

Cons

You will not work more than 30 hours unless you have been there for a long time (2-3 years), They would separate my 30 hours amongst 6 days instead of a 4, so I would essentially have no time for myself if you add commuting etc. YOU WILL PROBABLY NOT GET PROMOTED THEY HIRE MANAGEMENT FROM OUTSIDE ALWAYS. Trying to get through college and doing this job was hard working the 30 hours a week, even with the commission is not enough pay. TURNOVER rate is very high I did a great job everyday based on my sales in the department and I was still stressed everyday because I was nervous they were going to cut me any minute. Would not recommend. The CEO sneaks around and wants nobody to know how he looks like even the employees, I would wave and he would give me rude looks often.

Pros

weekly pay is good. There is also commission but it's not much. You make more money on the quantity you sell rather than amount. For example the commission on a $100 show is $1. Sell 10 shoes get $10 extra on your check. Sell a $1000 item get $10 dollars. Good culture at paragon though and atmosphere overall. very diverse team

Cons

lack of professionalism and structure
