Pros

Products could sporadically be of good quality, the discount wasn't bad. Some "clients" could be really pleasant to work with but you're mostly selling crap to middle-aged women with a ton of disposable income. Pre-restructuring, the company did take care of their employees.

Cons

Company structure is awful, restructured to cut all assistant managers hours, upward mobility is entirely based on whether your District Manager takes you out for drinks or not, sales associates are unmotivated due to constant pressure on cards, cards, and cards. Company has deteriorated after the recent departures in head designers and long standing members that held the company's design integrity alive.

Pros

A discount on the product sold (Note: sometimes doesn’t apply or in the end you ultimately pay less as a customer)

Cons

No benefits of any kind for part time associates, no paid time off, no work life balance (if you have open availability prepare to work every weekend and holiday, no exceptions) , and no clear path for advancement

Pros

the discount is good.

Cons

No room For advancement. They pass up long term qualified employees for newer blood, with less qualifications. Store is a mess and poorly managed. Petty behavior by management. Low pay. They will never promote you no matter how much they tell you they will it’s a lie don’t fall for it. No hours between Jan-July. Used to offer vision and dental to part time and that is now off the table. DEAD END NO ROOM FOR GROWTH.
