Pros

Discount on some merchandise was good.

Cons

Company doesn't care about the people that bring in the $. The stockers, cashiers and sales people are treated like scum, unless that is they are cute and friendly with the manager who is 4'2"but thinks he is 7'. Sales people never make more than 5% commission. They go through employees like water. Definitely the worst job I ever had.

Pros

Easy work, and employees are the reason you will stay at this job.

Cons

The pay is terrible. Being a sales associate they expect you to make all of your money in sales which is 2% while you spend your time selling product and being knowledgeable of the merchandise while doing giant projects. The objective as a sales associate is to be a shark on the sales floor and being annoyingly/constantly helpful to a customer so someone will not come and steal your sale. The sales are great during the holidays or during big events like rodeos and concerts but other than that it’s not worthy the little pay and selling your soul to make a buck. The hours are flexible but if you close you will 90% be out an hour later than the doors have closed to customers while you are getting paid $9 hr.

Pros

If you like working with people, this is your place. Its demanding, & not everyday is full of sunshine. It can be very satisfying, heartbreaking, mind boggling, among many other adjectives

Cons

Long hours, cliquish, rude customers, MANAGEMENT. Management runs off a lot of GREAT KNOWLEDGEABLE employees. People that LIVE the western lifestyle, have a knack for the products. If you excel in your knowledge of products over the management, they will make it a very hostile environment. I have worked there twice, out sold most,but I have an extensive knowledge of products, from boots, to hats, to clothing, to service; If you take pride in taking care of your customers, and going above & beyond, for them to return, you are ridiculed, bullied, disrespected, shunned, hrs cut, set up, sabotaged, stabbed in the back by management, unfair practices at the store level, manipulation, fabrication of facts, promises/promotions/bonuses given for those that provide written statements that are untrue.
