Pros

Customers are great! Products are fun. Hours usually flexible Work is not hard Some employee product sampling Work pace is not hectic Employee discount is decent Reward Points

Cons

Store Managers are very unprofessional with employee concerns. Store Managers do not lead by example. Store Managers have no employee relations training. Store Managers gossip about employees to other employees. Store Managers take advantage of work hours (doing personal shopping on the clock, extended lunches, etc.) Store Managers do not reward top producers that are hard workers. District Management has ZERO involvement in employee concerns. District Management treat associates as disposable. District Management shows no concern about the inner workings of the stores Management is not trained to encourage top performers, they are only trained to reprimand for minute drops in numbers. Top performers with experience are seen as a threat to management due to their own insecurities or lack of training? I'm not sure Employee Reward Points are taxed as income when issue, then again with sales tax at the store level.

Pros

My store manager and team were wonderful! If you make the right moves you can move up the ladder reasonably quickly,

Cons

You can move up the ladder quickly because turnover is so high. Management will lie to you and tell you whatever you want to hear to keep you from leaving. Your experience is entirely dependent on who your store manager is and if they are willing to advocate for you. District management does not care about employees.
