Pros

40% discount Creating relationships with the guests

Cons

Where to begin- everyone below the CEO and VP needs to go. It’s the cattiest, fakest company you’ll ever be a part of with over tenured/burnt out districts running the show- that select area managers that are chosen by friendship and not ability. MT’s are promised stores but less than 10% will ever go manage. Managers are selfish and sit in the back all the time while everyone else runs their stores for them. Somehow even when the bad managers do shady stuff, even down to theft and fraudulent layaways, it’s like they have immunity and are never reprimanded but other great managers get nit picked and micromanaged to death. That’s how they make people quit, they unfairly pick on you and start holding you to unbelievable standards when others aren’t and then you eventually get reviewed out. You’ll be asked to bend over backwards and work way too hard for the managers benefit.

Pros

There are not any pros.

Cons

No matter your position the only goal is to push sales, you have to annoy every customer to the point where they either buy or leave. They do not compensate for the amount of effort they expect. Everyone is incredibly fake, those who aren't dont last long, terrible atmosphere
