Personal growth opportunities, but poor pay

Pros

Good work environment, fun products, opportunities to grow personally, good medical benefits, good training programs, real ability to challenge the process, and (somewhat) flexible hours.

Cons

VERY poor pay at the store level, some unrealistic monthly increase projections that are not in line with regular company growth make reaching substantial commission almost impossible, knowing who to trust is always a concern (although I guess that's true at any job), many inconsistencies in how different regions are run.

Pros

The occasional 50 percent off of 5 pairs every sales quarter, minimal work-load, nice product.

Cons

The management is awful, managers are fired if their sales aren't good enough, something that is completely dependent on 1. The weather and 2. The economy ( designer sunglasses are not a necessity, people buy less of them when they have no extra cash). In addition, associates are constantly reminded to have ENERGY when they are refused breaks unless they are working over 6 hours, and are being paid minimally. The commission system is a joke, nobody recieves comission unless the entire store meets a team goal, then you start making 1 % comission, and only make it up to 2 % and higher if the store makes it's goal in increments on 10 % (110% = 2% commission, 120% = 3 % etc.)
