Pros

Hours and my location were the only advantages. Information and training on their products were very good. If you like plastic watches, you get a 40% discount on them.

Cons

A really understandable high turnover of staff. I had a horrible Incompetent store manager, that had no idea about running anything, let alone a small single counter, they were employed to manage. it really spoilt it for everyone working there. I was not paid my commissions and had to chase up pay. I was always on my own, as they refused to have more staff to cover. I always went on my lunch break 1.5 hours before my finish time... One employee had been working for them for 7 years and never got past the selling floor. Seriously, if you can sell, take time to research the company you decide to work for and don't waste your time on companies that are only interested in what they can take from you
