Pros

good discounts and sales training

Cons

management is too clique-ish. If you don't fit in, you'll be fired. Other employees will break the law, but as long as they're in the clique, they're protected while others get fired for something as simple as not cleaning the bathroom fast enough

Pros

Great pay with the right product knowledge and motivation. Awesome coworkers.

Cons

Commission based so there is always competition. With the right staff though, this isn't a problem.

Pros

Huge discounts after 3 months. Generally cool colleagues in the stores.

Cons

Cut throat commission based environment makes for a lot of backstabbing and shady dealings. I like to trust my co-workers and it's hard to when the company pits us against each other.
