Pros
Starting pay is 11.50 which I think is great for people who have never worked.
Cons
The company is going downhill. Working with minimal hours, only two people in the store half the day. The associate always has to do the work by themselves, while the managers always sit in the back "checking their emails". They want you to be on the customer's back at all times. You get yelled at if you don't ask for the customers full name, home address, birthday, email, phone number. The store always has to be neat, no straps out of place at any point in time. Bags must be aligned perfectly, stuffed perfectly, and no tags showing whatsoever. The core value is literally being "fussy". When you clock in, they quiz you on things ie., "a customer walks in looking for a bag with these specifics, what do you show her and what can you add on so that our sales can go higher?" If you answer incorrectly, they correct you in a very condescending way. They don't care if you're vegan and don't want to be involved with the leather bags. Because apparently as long as money is coming in, who cares about people's ethical views on animal welfare... You also have to be standing at all times. You are not allowed to sit, lean on any furniture whatsoever unless it's on your break. 15 minutes for less than 6 hours and 30 minutes for 6+ hours. Get ready for the leg cramping after 8 hours straight of being on your feet.
