Pros

The store I worked at was great. Management was balanced and had good judgment, co-workers were helpful and knowledgable, and enjoyable to work with.

Cons

No benefits, no buy-in option to obtain benefits, low hourly wages, only store manager and assist manager had benefits and worked full-time - it was sur la tables' policy to have all other workers as part-time with no benefits

Pros

Very enjoyable environment to work in. Most every employee is easy going, helpful and friendly. Generous discount. relaxed work flow. Nothing particularly difficult or challenging. great temporary job or great job for people new to retail. Not too difficult to advance. my personal manager is perhaps the best one i have ever had but i dont think all stores are this lucky.

Cons

little to no pay offs. seeing others promoted makes me glad i didn't go for a higher position. company has unrealistic goals with laughable rewards for the amount of knowledge and sales they ask of employees. as far as i hear the pay upgrade from associate to manager isn't significant especially for the stress you get afterwards when you don't meet the unrealistic goals. very often hours are cut. I've worked weeks with only 4.5 hours. sell a $5000 machine? here is a $20 gift card to the store you work at.
