Pros

The discount it nice and the work load is extremely light. Management really only has to make schedules, month end paperwork and audit monthly receipts. Shipments are small and typically come with new product which is exciting. I had a really great team I worked with which made things more enjoyable. You can be prompted very fast, I started as a pt sales and worked into a Store Manager position within a year. Commission was awesome if you work in a high volume store. Minimal supervision/touch base with Regionals which is a pro and con

Cons

Management Salary is extremely low but the role is essentially a glorified sales associate. payroll hours are very minimal. They had no marketing strategies to bring business in to smaller volume stores which resulted in associates and managers not making goal/commissions. You can work alone and can not take 15 min breaks or lunch breaks (which is illegal) Not a very inspiring place to work I saw some people who did not truely deserve promotions take on larger rolls for being a kiss ass No loss prevention techniques

Pros

The only thing this place has going for its self are the benefits, other than that its not worth your time and effort.

Cons

Some things to think about. Commissions are almost non existent you only get paid if store meets its goal not an easy job as goals tend to be very very high. Management both local and corp are a joke, they would rather waste company money on bs rather than pay commission from dollar one of your sales. They will not hesitate to cut your hours if your sales are down even slightly, they some how dont understand or dont want to, associates cant make people come into the store so if they are not coming then guess what management heads no sales. You would rather blame the associate for not doing her job. Salary for those of you who dont know the only way you can get paid a some what higher salary is by working in a Platinum store, if you are gold or sliver you get paid min. wage or just above, even though you perform the same functions in every store.
