Pros

There really aren't any pros. I guess the free bra they give you when a new model comes in.. that's it.

Cons

The managers treat workers like dirt in my opinion. You constantly have to try to sell credit cards, which can be annoying.

Pros

I love my co-workers and management. When I and other team members do well we are recognized and complimented for our achievements. The discount is nice as well, along with launch promotions for employees. For the most part, it seems like the girls all really connect.. obviously this won't be 100% across the boards (I don't think it would be that way anywhere). I also feel very connected with the rest of the district in terms of business and performance. Managers are flexible with time off, and during the holidays hours are very good.

Cons

The pay (for lower volume stores-- which is where my experience lies) is minuscule, definitely not a livable wage as part time. Hours are short, especially if plan is not met for the first day of the week. No benefits unless your are management level. As a sales associate (even elevated ones) the income is not sufficient to get by, and opportunity to move up into management positions seem sparse.
