Pros

I loved every client I had. The Managers in other stores were helpful, wonderful people. The bonus structure is phenomenal. They want you to succeed.

Cons

Company plays favorites. If you perform well you can do what you want which includes harassing your staff sexually and verbally. They tell you to avoid telling the customer the price of the product until they are in the middle of the store standing in front of everyone else and sometimes downright humiliating them. No weekends off. It’s a lot of micromanaging. Let’s not forget when I had a death in the family and called to report it I was told I would still ha e to come in and work on Saturday. To be fair I don’t think this happens at every location.

Pros

Decent pay. Plenty of time to mess around on your phone or do homework. You get to be called an arch support specialist, which helps you forget that you're just a salesperson.

Cons

The company is a money pit. So you buy an orthotic for 30 bucks, and you sell it for $350. Out of that 1000% markup, you get a cool 6.5% commission, which is closer to 5.2% after taxes. Not only that, but you are directly graded on your ability to sell 3 pairs of these orthotics at a time. So in theory, selling 100k in single pairs of orthotics would make you an underperformer, which doesn't seem to correlate to any rule of business of which I am aware. The owners are a married couple, the main owner being a pedorthist, and his wife, a podiatrist. Despite what you would assume to be considerable certifications in the product at hand, they are woefully incompetent at the sales aspect of the job, and they project these inadequacies onto the employees. Employees are regularly texted by the owners and by management at all hours, about matters that range from professional to personal. Most of the management staff consists of the family of the owners, and it's fairly obvious that the common DNA is what apparently qualifies them for management, as they have no other particular skills. Owners are not above yelling and cursing at employees, as well as enlisting in their employee's help with their own domestic strife, and we were actively encouraged to withhold business information from one owner or the other. The work itself is mundane and uneventful, and the office side of things is consisted largely of ill-disguised busy work, which must be done even in the absence of a clear purpose.

Pros

The product is great, if they would recruit managers with a professional, fair and honest work ethic it could be a great career.

Cons

The management lacks professionalism, skill, and most important honesty and integrity. The manager is a thief and a liar.
