Pros

-The hourly wage plus commission (3% in cosmetics, 10% in shoes, 1% everywhere else) -Elegant atmosphere -Nice coworkers -Closes at 9pm so no late nights -Paid time and a half on Sundays

Cons

-Very slow. There are not enough customers to meet sales goals. Much of the time is spent standing around. You're expected to keep busy and not talk to the other coworkers in your area. -Management watches you from the camera room. -The dress code is very strict and out of date. -TESS, the computer system that makes the schedule. Makes it difficult to discuss your schedule or availability with management because there is not much they can do about it since the computer system makes your schedule. -Hard to get days off when needed. Management will decline your request off and will not discuss with you why. -Management will not work around other schedules in your life such as school schedules, other jobs, or family issues.

Nice environment Great merchandise Associates are empowered to take care of customer situations without having to call management Open door policy

Cons

Weekends-If weekends off are what you are looking for then you probably shouldn't work retail Standing on your feet- If you don't want to stand on your feet then don't work retail If you are looking for a "clerking" position this is not for you!
