      Hiring externally, little to no education among the upper management.

      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.)

      It can be fun selling fashion and function

      Pros

      You learn about fashion designers and their influence in the eyewear market. The fellow managers are helpful to each other. There are opportunities to become to add responsibilities to your plate within the company, if you can handle it. You get a free pair of sunglasses on your anniversary. Commission can be great if you IF you beat your plan sales by 50%. Great product training cards. I love the one on one time spent with customers that really want service and trust your feedback.

      Cons

      Part of what you sell to a new employee is the commission opportunity and unfortunately, you have to beat an inflated sales plan by 50% in order to really be rewarded. You usually work single coverage during week days. The problem is that the second you get behind the register to ring up a customer, the store is easy prey for shoplifters. The stores have cameras so you can have evidence when you catch a thief or make a police report, but the video quality is so poor the the reporting officer tells you that it's almost pointless to make a report.
