Pros

Most of management is extremely professional and very nice. Pleasant work atmosphere. Most coworkers are hard workers and know how to treat customers well. The merchandise is great. You are given mostly free reign to merchandise. The fixtures are very nice and add a high-end look to the store. They are very forgiving if you need to leave due to a family emergency,etc.

Cons

Management is never on the same page. The pay is horrible. The yearly pay raises are so sad that they are laughable. Safety is a joke. Loss prevention is nonexistent. You are expected to know how to do every job in the store. If you work hard and care about the quality of the job that you do, expect to be extremely insulted by a few of your coworkers abilities or lack thereof yet they keep them! Every job is timed yet come evaluation time it gets one no where to get the job done well and quickly.

Pros

My coworkers and a steady wpaycheck. And meeting some great people. The discount is nice.

Cons

This company likes to put all the work on its associates. Anything that’s grunt work or where you have to get your hands dirty. All they care about are pushing out those credit cards. I’ve seen some of the best employees quit because they’re burnt out and don’t get scheduled any hours. I don’t blame them. I’m looking for another job as I type this. My body hurts and I’m being abused physically and taken advantage of.
