Pros

Pay. Discounts. Free Items.

Cons

Management only care about sales. They will criticize you in front of other employees. If you don't rub every customers hands with lotion, you will be "coached". Teamwork doesn't exist in this company. It is each for it's own and very competitive. At closing, you are expected to have the store in pristine condition, signs changed, registers counted, items relocated all within 30-45 minutes which is extremely unrealistic and stressful.

Pros

Discount, an getting to work in your jeans and a T-shirt is comfortable.

Cons

Pay was horrible, they keep with promise of advancement however that was never delivered. I interviewed for management position. Passed the first two interviews, on the last interview with the DM; it was explained to me that as long as my sales per hour were up to par, I would be move into management. I was consistently top 3 for 6 months, in that time period they promoted two other manager one with no experience and the other only with "managing a daycare?". After the second promotion I left.

Pros

free stuff occasionally, got to really know the products and their use

Cons

really force you to hound every customer even if they say "just looking" and don't want to be bothered. they expect you to to know every little thing about somebody even if theyre not interested, and recommend a million products. great if you like up selling and retail (even though there's no commission yet they expect you to meet a sales goal every hour, and day plus a personal transaction goal and if you don't meet them, they really make you feel crappy for not doing good enough)
