Pros

The company is very good about giving stores lots of training and product knowledge. Its a very clean environment & smells great.

Cons

Not enough payroll!!! Very limited coverage!! We are a B volume store that is usually at our minimum operating hours - which is 1 to 2 ppl all day long for the majority of the week. This makes it very hard to complete tasks within your DOR! DM plays favorites and only promotes suck ups!! She is an external hire and has NO IDEA what it takes to run stores!! Her mood swings are ridiculous - one minute she loves you & the next she barely talks to you.

Pros

Good discounts on merchandise, easy work.

Cons

I would have loved to purchase some of their products conisdering the 40% off discount for employees, but they failed to pay me enough to sustain myself let alone buy from their store! I was getting paid about $150 every two weeks! They never notified me about how little I'd be working or about what my schedule would be like, my shifts were completely random. If you want a set schedule each week. this job isn't for you, you're lucky to get 1 shift a week that only lasts about 3-4 hours. Once again, my supervisors failed to mention this, thinking it was more important that I know how to sell products than whether or not I get paid enough to survive. I don't know why there was so much emphasis on selling merchandise to customers anyway, these products practically sell themselves. I had a lot of questions starting out since I was a NEW EMPLOYEE and all and had never worked a job like this in my life, but for some reason my supervisors failed to see this and instead made me feel ashamed and embarassed for asking the simplest of questions. They'd actually get mad and a little sassy at me for asking a question, like where a specific item was or how to do a return. I have to remind you, I had just started and my shifts were so sporadic it was difficult to retain all the info, so I HAD to ask questions.
