No Rules and Regulations...just SALES!!!

Pros

You can pretty much do whatever you want...just as long as sales are good.

Cons

Management has no clue what they're doing. District management only cares about sales...they don't care about our safety. We're often left to work alone at any given time. They deeply cut hours on short to no notice and they have us monitor our numbers. We don't get commission so sales means nothing for associates, it only helps management. We don't get incentives for selling. There's too many cons for me to keep going...seek employment elsewhere if possible.
