Pros

You learn a lot about sales and how to sell from working here (and if you have a good manager). It was a good learning experience for me and I feel comfortable going into other jobs that require a lot of communication with customers. The employee discount was pretty from the only thing I really enjoyed while working there.

Cons

Drama between employees. I wasn't involved, but since all of the employees were girls, there was sure to be drama and typical girl behavior between employees. The managers did seem to pick favorites based on who they got along with the most, not on who was the better employee. You're put in a lot of uncomfortable situations. You are really pushed to make sales and push customers to buy as much as possible. However, when a customer just really wants to be left alone or a customer doesn't speak english and your manager is staring at you like you are doing something wrong, you feel a bit uncomfortable.

Pros

Commission and flexible schedule were nice

Cons

Lots of work for little pay off. You have to work your butt off in order to make any money

Pros

Good discounts for employees. Working with people, pay is pretty good for people in college. I have had good luck with schedule like my times. Good co workers and leaders.

Cons

Was promised a leader promotion after a two week trail period? Then to be told to wait till after Christmas because a raise in the middle of a pay period doesn't make sense? Manager just trying to make more money for the store during the holidays. But expects me to do the leader role of impacting and leading while I wait for the raise.
