Pros

Able to work with a product that I enjoyed: Hats. Work with people and help assist them with purchases.

Cons

All numbers are based on previous years, if the malls not busy it's not busy. Often had to work full days where I was only person in the store. Pay is extremely low for all the required duties. Up-selling the embroidery and working with machine is a pain.

Pros

Discount on hats, and clothing

Cons

There is no work life balance with this company. You work seems like everyday, endless tasking for no reason. There arent enough hours for sales team so most of the time your left in the store alone for hours. very small management team so if you get sick or have an emergency there is no calling out unless because the other managers cant go into over time so your stuck. I had to go in with the flu after the doctor told me not to. Turn over in assist managers is crazy and in sales associates just cant keep people. Its just not the best place to work if you have been in management awhile.

Pros

Will work with your schedule.

Cons

Awful hourly pay, minimum wage for sales associates. The opportunity for advancement is not there unless you have inside connections. They will keep you at the bottom of the totem pole as long as possible or until you quit. This company is EXTREMELY hungry for any dollar they can get their grimey hands on.
