Pros

discount and freebies every so often, procedures within the store fairly straightforward pretty easy job and fun environment to work in. I have been with the company three years and would say it's the perfect place for a student who wants part time hours to work.

Cons

VS never do fixed schedules unless your one of the rare people given a fixed contract. Most of the associates in store given a minimum 4 hour contract meaning during quiet periods (after Christmas) you could get only 1-2days a week. This job isn't ideal for anyone that has bills and rent to pay as the hours are not always certain. Although they tell you there is room for promotion, this RARELY happens unless your friendly with managers most of the time they would rather recruit externally. Also there is now a lot of pressure to create sales consistently as this is constantly being reviewed

Pros

Remote, work-life balance, easily post shifts and get vto if you want it

Cons

Hours fluctuate way too much, and repetitive, brainless type of calls. You're walked all over, and have to play stupid with customers because of their "assume good intent" policy, but WOW the amount of people who take advantage of this wild. You will see hundreds of dollars refunded on numerous back-to-back orders of the same person claiming they didn't get their package, or coupons and gift cards, nonstop, with customers always complaining. The complaints from customers still in store on their treatment from store managers and supervisors are shocking, I've had calls hearing those workers yellling at customers. The type of work and level of needing to play stupid is just not for me. I also didnt care for never getting a straight answer from managers, trainers, higher-ups. Everything is always beating around the bush. One time hours were cut back a lot, and they blamed the tariffs that the president imposed, which made no sense. Come to find out from a long-term employee that it was just the usual slow time. It's a weird work environment that you just can't take seriously. If you want remote work, take it for the experience on your resume, but move on.
