Pros

Fun to sell home decor and make someone's day. If you can sell, you can make some good money on top of the hourly pay.

Cons

They say they care about the employees. Well first off, they hire not within the company for supervisors. They also made people who have worked there for a long time sit back and train a brand new supervisor who knew nothing about the job. (Which should have been for employees who worked hard for it) they takes a sales script up from underneath their best sellers and no NOT give reconiginition or even ask if it's okay and give it to everyone else to use. They have a new supervisor telling people to make the sales or else they lose their jobs when previous years they used to have time off the phone to play games. They do some games but nothing like it was before when they weren't so strict on time. Also, doesn't matter if your moms or dads is dying, you goto the hospital or anything serious, a doctors note counts for nothing and you will get a point. It's irritating they make it seem employee focused when they fire left and right and mess people over but act like a good company. It's now all about money. Btw. Also. Do not miss more than 80% of your shift or your entire incentive check will be taken. Doesn't matter the amount.

Pros

The staff here is amazing and my manager is the absolute best! I have been welcomed with open arms and accepted as a Winston family member. Working with 200+ associates is incredibly challenging and exciting but very rewarding. When issues arise they are handled with care in a timely manner so day by day I see more and more pros and it's going to get even better.

Cons

Some employees, and the surrounding cities, have a bad memory of how Winston operated in the past and it still lingers. Fresh ideas are being implemented to help fix this issue so hopefully we can turn our image around 100%.

Pros

Busy, plenty to do and learn, time flies by. Company tries to show employee appreciation with lunches, bonuses and birthday cakes.

Cons

No proper training, too much to do and not enough time. Need to work weekends and late nights very often (several times a week) to keep up with work. Not a family friendly company with no work life balance.
