Fun some days, stressful other days

Pros

The starting pay is awesome! They start everyone out at $12 an hour now and also starting to offer some benefits to part time employees. There are full benefits and bonuses for full time employees. You learn a lot about customer service and the products. The training is wonderful! It is easy to move up in the company.

Cons

It’s not guaranteed full time unless you’re a store manager, assistant manager, or store supervisor. Even the key holders and top sellers don’t get full time. It kind of sucks being a part of management and don’t receive the same treatment as the other three management members. Full time employees also get better discounts. Key holders and top sellers are also expected to have open availability so don’t take the position if you can’t afford to only work part time. I also get ridiculed for my management style, and I didn’t appreciate the company forcing me to change my management style. I would understand if I was a terrible manager, but I rarely had complaints for the way I coached my associates.

Pros

Great Pay Overtime Bosses were not strict Free Product

Cons

My two managers would edit their time every week to act like they were there when they were not. My assistant manager was being paid overtime every single week when she would leave most days at 1 when I got there. My store manager would just not show up to open the store and barely worked 3 hour days throughout the week before leaving. She would always edit her time to say she worked over an 8 hour shift. Both managers would stay clocked in all week and then edit time right before doing payroll. My district manager was aware of this and never said anything. I texted her about the incident and she never responded. The whole company is a mess. I would never suggest anyone work there.
