Pros

Fun employees, Most managers are as well, reasonable discount and gratis although it used to be better. Bonus incentive at the end of the month. AMAZING products. Flexible hours for college students. Products VERY easy to sell

Cons

Poor salary in comparison to corporate and median manager salaries. Raises from part time to full time have been as low as 25 cents. Same false promises made to many employees. As of late, it seems all managers are either quitting or getting fired. There is a complete lack of communication on the store and corporate level to the point of misdirection in the stores. Corporate and store employees are losing faith in the company and their positions due to all the firings in the recent months in addition to recent misdirection and confusion. Increased and somewhat unrealistic expectations of store employees. The new store audits are absurd to the point where if a dust bunny is found under a piece of furniture, it causes a considerable demerit in the review and a potential write up/warning
