Great gateway into sales - Guide Bonobos Employee Review

Small store teams made for a tight knit district which met via zoom weekly. There were calls for store managers to go over business as well as training and development calls for lead guides. Weekly self reviews by leads with their GM made for rapid development and lots of learning opportunities. The hourly wage was quite competitive because they have many positions that are great stepping stones for beginning sales careers.

While the bonus system (which was based on store’s net comp.) was a great way to encourage team selling and good morale, I found the bonuses underwhelming. Bonuses would typically be between 2-4% of the monthly net comp. and half as much for part timers. Commission would likely be more lucrative.

- Mostly a chill job depending on your manager - Pay is better than most retail jobs with monthly bonuses

- A lot is riding on how good of a seller you are. Otherwise your store will struggle because the model is so different from traditional retail - You will give them your all just for them to promote someone external because they liked their personality better but they know nothing about the company If you just want to come to work to sell, and you have no bills or goals--you will do great. But don't expect any promotions or rewards for your hard work
