Not worth it

Pros

If you like working crazy hours for almost no money this is the job for you. Its fun to learn the new styles and pick out outfits and jewelry for customers.They are all about meeting the daily/weekly/monthly goals and empower everyone to make more sales. The balance between school and work seemed impossible and the managers were very understanding about it. I would recommend working here if you are interested in fashion merchandising. All the girls were very friendly and I still keep in touch with them!

Cons

The manager "forgot" to file my paperwork when I applied and I did not get paid for TWO MONTHS. When I did get paid, that money would go towards all of the clothes I wanted from there. There is no room for personal growth unless someone is fired or you move locations. When it gets busy, everyone gets overwhelmed and catty. Getting paid $8 an hour is not worth it AT ALL. There were fraud scandals with some of the associate's checks and our manager got fired (not the first time this has happened). Their lack of organization and sketchy payroll systems lead me to quit this job.

Cute boutique with little pay

Pros

Great discount, they have several vendors which gives customers several style options for merchandise

Cons

Low pay, poor management, you put in so much work, but receive very low pay. Management would make you clock out, so you didn't have overtime and would continue to make you work. Doesn't allow you to grow with the company.

Pros

A fun, small staff. Definitely feels like family. Company is very adamant about promoting internally and you get to know your superiors very well.

Cons

The pay is below standard in comparison to competitors and the discount isn't the best considering a lot of discounts for guests are just as good as the employee discount.
