Pros

Excellent benefits, the harder you work to sell the more you make, coworkers are all very friendly, great discount, overall a really great place to work

Cons

if you're not comfortable selling, you won't make much money. also, the smaller stores have some slow periods where fewer customers come in, limiting your ability to make money.

Pros

company culture is good; strong history of customer service; stable blue chip company; many long-time employees; discount on merchandise and stock.

Cons

very little mobility within the corporate center unless you are on the merchandise side; departments viewed as cost centers vs. profit centers are not treated with respect.

Pros

Discount but even that is worth hardly anything... the management may get 33% off which is good but if your not a manager you only get 20%. Which really isn't much especially since they treat you like crap as an employee... like your money as an employee isn't good enough.

Cons

Too preoccupied with appearance and treat the employees as if they were beneath them. You hardly get paid for anything.... You make basically 9 dollars an hour... and if you're a good sales person maybe 10... but that's if your lucky, so don't fall for the information in the interview. it's either you get commission or the 9 dollars an hour, and to beat the 9 dollars an hour is insane. I don't know why I try.
