Pros

When they could get it right a paycheck. The other poor people that got hired to open the new distribution center were a delight to work with.

Cons

Downside was being "lied" to from the time of the interview about better positions being available after being hired, not true! 8 people were hired and for 2 months were sweeping floors, cleaning, and doing all the dirty work. When 27 "new" people were hired the original 8 were outcasted by management. Went to HR to discuss this on a Thursday, and come the next day was pulled into HR and told I was under investigation! Then told that the better positions would be given to one of the "new" people. Over all the managment is a joke! Stay away from this company, they'll suck you in with promises and won't stick to them!

Pros

I have received a lot of gratis which is really nice, a lot of the time the GM will just let me take a couple things when she wants to clean out the office. The store discount isn't bad but with only working 8 hours a week you can't buy very much. The general manager at the store was super nice and I will probably miss her and one of the other floor managers the most when I leave. They are awesome!

Cons

The stupid magazines that nobody wants because its a trick. I am probably going to lose my job because of those things. They store hours are cut all the time, so I end up working two shifts a week as a lead. There is no set schedule what so ever, so planning anything never works out. I have never received a raise in the time I've worked there and my promotion to lead is always threatened to be taken away, not by sales or disciplinary reasons but because of the magazines. I had a manager actually tell me she didn't want me to get my promotion because she doesn't like me and she thought the new girl who lies about the magazines to customers should've gotten it. I practically run the store during my shifts because the managers are always checking the emails from corporate who are yelling at them and telling them to cut more hours. The worst however was with the salon discount, I had received a service with my discount and the person put it in wrong so I got a call saying I owed more money after I paid what they said I had to. Come to find out, two other girls in the store also had that happen. Totally not worth it for under $8 an hour.
