Horrible, not worth it for retail

Pros

The products sold in the store are great. Depending on your location, networking as well as interacting with clients/customers is also a great experience. The only benefit you get is 50% discount off of all products, which is decent.

Cons

They claim that they give you competitive wage, however they pay barely above minimum. You literally break your back working for them and definitely do not get paid enough, especially since you are not working on commission to sell majority of the products they push you to sell. Regardless of how long you work there and how well you do, your work will go unnoticed. They do not promote you and instead hire new people, make you train them and give them a higher wage as well as title.

Micromanaging everything and employees must know everything and get blamed for everything that goes wrong, even if we aren't to blame. Promo codes that don't work. Immature rude highly retaliatory upper management and unhelpful IT department who are also rude as well. Old school devices to use that are way too complicated.

Pros

Lovely customers. Hardworking and wonderful associates in store. Good employee discount. Great products. Love the true stories and the roots of the company.

Cons

Sales Associates do 90% of the work but get little or no recognition. After more than 3 years pay has only increases 95 cents even though sales goals are met and exceeded. DM hires " friends" from outside company rather than promote hardworking associates from within. DM has no idea how to answer common questions or how to ring up a customer. No recycling of product testers. They are thrown in trash.
