Pros

Great pay Benefits 401K Paid vacation if you are full-time Commission 20% discount

Cons

Associates can be "sharks" and steal sales from you Get one customer complaint as a new hire and you get terminated immediately Meet sales goals every month that sometimes are set too high Have to open a credit account for customers at least once a month which is hard now because everyone has one. You can not make friends with co-workers Ladies have to wear skirts and pantyhose Management does not communicate to each other - you often have to repeat stuff to them or they repeat things to you that you already heard from another manager. Management Gets after DMs for not making their goals or if department isn't making goals If DM exceeds their sales goal they get in trouble Associates often cover in other departments they do not feel comfortable in TESS scheduling system can be hard to understand - It makes up the schedule for associates but the store manager has to go in and "fix" them. Schedules associates to work 12 - 9 PM then work 7 AM - 4 or 5 PM the next day Schedules DMs and some associates to work 12 - 9 PM then 5:30 AM to ? on Inventory days which is twice a year.

Pros

pleasant enough environment. good benefits. great hours for retail. everyone really is nice- as long as you are at your best.

Cons

people get fired for ANYTHING all the time. goals/expectations/attendance- they MEAN it. be on time and sell your butt off. they're only on your side as long as you're playing the game. don't think for a min. that you're golden and relax- always be at your best.
