Pros

Ariel offered us a good commision structure

Cons

Advised of commision structure for july 1st now it is june 27th and it was pushed back to Aug. 1st. Advised of Vacation paid out on JUly 1st, now no one in BSG knows what im talking about. Thanks for hurting my family again. Customers are not recieving there orders properly and i have to call in to customer service everyday for them to place the orders for me. Customers are complaining more to me and i have no answers on why their orders are being delayed or mis ordered. Communication is not being relayed out at all. It is more find out yourself and let the whole team know.

Pros

Every day is different. Not seated at desk all day. Good paid time off.

Cons

No respect. Management asks more of you, the more you do. Management favors certain employees. Not enough employees per store. If you are management you are asked to cover every shift no matter how much you have already worked that week. No support from upper management!

Pros

Free Give aways every month, the customers are very sweet, benifits, easy dress code.....

Cons

As a manager upper management is unmonitored and can easily harrass and degrade and turn your employees against you, taking away your authority. Vendictive DM's and TM's can make your job impossible to do, leaving you with no further room for advancement in the company.
