Pros

good people for the most part and great benefits.

Cons

management is a lot of attitudes. not really room for growth. the visual merchandising aspect of the job is a joke. it’s not what it used to be. not really creative at all, that’s put on the back burner. basically if you want to move furniture day and night and put stuff in the dumpster this is the job for you. you’re being pulled in different directions all the time. everyone is mad at you but demands your attention all the time. you’ll work really hard on something for it to be changed the next day or week.

Pros

Decent base pay, somewhat autonomous, great tip potential.

Cons

The company has changed for the worse since COVID. When I came back the mood of the entire store had shifted. Gone were the days of comradery, customer focus, and taking pride in a job well done. In its place there is a new culture of cutthroat sales, a severe decline in customer focus, and worst of all a new focus on profit over customer satisfaction. When I was told that the amount the store charged for a shoe shine was not enough to do the best job I could for a customer I knew things had gone downhill for the company. Not to mention I watch a manager prey on a mentally disabled person in order to secure a sale, when the person could not understand what was being offered. Sad that such a once great company is now just another greed ridden corporation.
