Pros

The store always smelled amazing, so you always smelled amazing. Working there is like working in a girls dream come true. Commission is 3% of sales, and as the items are quite expensive it adds up.

Cons

Managers had clear favourites. Based in different areas each shift and depending which area in would depend on how much sales you make. Example, t shirt collection was not as expensive or popular as Very Sexy collection, so of course this generates a lot less commission. If managers liked you, then they placed you in the best areas. Also, you get your sale if the customer remembers your name at checkout, so if your coworker was unfair, they may intercept a customer with large sales and say their name briefly, and usually the customer just remembers the last name mentioned unless you let a GIANT impact on her or shopped with her for a lengthy amount of time. Also, changing room attendants often stole customers too, as a customer may forget name after helping her so long, then go try on the stuff picked out then the changing room attendant would say thanks my name is.. and then customer goes straight to checkout.

Pros

Have met some amazing coworkers. Brand itself is fun.

Cons

Sudden Return to Work mandate 3 days in NY or OH SIX years after COVID. Any current employees outside of those states are being let go if they don’t uproot their lives and relocate. Many employees in those states built their lives around what seemed to be a permanent remote flexibility arrangement (most companies went back in 23). When Hillary Super came on she even stated in one of her first Q&A’s on remote work that where people do their jobs wasn’t a big concern for her as long as we continued to drive the business forward. The business is doing the best it ever has in the last five years. Leadership reasoning for mandate is continuing to fall flat. Mandate came absolutely out of NOWHERE.
