Pros

Discounts. I turned down the job offer due to them falsifying the pay.

Cons

Lie to get you in the door, unprofessional HR interview. Advertised pay rate of $35-$45K and offered $14/ hour, tried to sell me on “bonuses” complete waste of time.

Pros

Money was decent. Good store discount. Commission was a plus. They were okay with paying overtime. Good benefits for full time.

Cons

Retail work. Lots of weekends and holidays. Store management cliquey and promoted undeserving favorites/friends. Lots of extra meetings. Leaders don’t listen to ideas when it could make them a lot of extra money to just try.

Pros

Good environment for employees who succeed in a competitive atmosphere. Perfect for the outdoor enthusiast. Potential to earn a significant salary if talented in sales.

Cons

Commission drives sales. Many employees who take the extra mile to help a customer are left in the dust financially.
