Pros

Great 40% discount which is better than Bed, Bath & Beyond and WS. Have good employees that try their best with tackling unrealistic sales goals. Had a great Store Manager.

Cons

Accountability issues. Illusions of actually being able to make a difference in the store enviornment. No real power in management, Unrealistic goals on high price items like Jura, De'Longhi, Vitamix, etc. No tangible recognition to store when it has consistently made its goal but anytime the store doesn't meets its goal bad things follow. Favoritism based on how long you have been with the company and not necessarily work ethic. I fought for my employees and felt that I was being ignored. Had employees who would sell high numbers but it would adversely affect them like being told to sell a huge amount in a 4.5 shift. Shift Extensions are the devil to employees and I hated giving them. Hours rapidly shrink after holiday season. Was lied to by management when I was hired about the hours situation and then later told that this is how it works after holiday even though I was told something else by the same person when I got hired. Favoritism with schedules takes place and is subject to change at a moment's notice with no regard to the employee.

Pros

Great starting rate, amazing discount, you get to learn a lot of valubale things. Even more fun when you workin a store with a kitchen. Usually flexible hours

Cons

My store has a hard time hiring people. It's hard to find us in the mall and many of our employees don't stay long. Also the cooking classes cause us to stay much later than we are suppose to.

Pros

40% off like everyone else said

Cons

Horrible place to work!!! low pay wage, they call you off a lot of the times due to classes being cancelled. The management could care less about there employees, the management will play favorites with certain employees, they talk about their staff while, current staff will be sitting in the room. They do not look at the potential growth of certain employees that dedicate their time to the business.
