Pros

It's fun, fast pace, and they take interest in their employees. They're about giving back what you put in. They promote from within!

Cons

As a hiring manager, It's difficult to find employees who can keep up with the high standards that are held.

Pros

When you're a young 18 year old and looking forward to working at a cool shop that you've always loved shopping at. Oh and the 40% discount.

Cons

Worst company I've ever worked for. They really don't pay their management well at all. I would work 70+ hours a week and get at most $700 for a bi-weekly paycheck. Now that's not what everyone makes you get .3% commission of all your sales....... Seriously!? You're commission based as a manager and you get .3%! How is that worth your time? Also if you don't make your standards of procedures (sops) 3 months in a row you're fired. However if your store manager doesn't like you they'll decide to just fire you for missing one month. I worked for this company for about 6 years started out as a sales associate and worked my way up. The only time I enjoyed the job was as a sales associate. The turn over rate is absolutely horrific because people realize they're not being compensated property and find something better. Don't waste your time with this company.

Pros

40% discount, met some great people, lived 15 mins walking distance from the job

Cons

-Disrespectful & unorganized management -Competition within co-managers & employees -VERY LOW PAY FOR ALL THE HARD WORK THAT'S DONE -Little to no hours -Being taken off the floor to do drags & then not meeting your sales goal for the day -A very high & unrealistic sales goal -Managers always said "You guys get paid hourly, we don't." BUT they got $1,000 paychecks for little that they do & us part-timers that bust their butt get no more than $100 (more if you're lucky) -The managers think you have no life; don't schedule you for weekdays, but schedule you on weekends -If it's slow, they will send you home WHICH MEANS LESS HOURS, LESS MONEY
