Pros

Employee Discount Relaxed Work Environment

Cons

Upper management is not on your side unless you’re a store manager. Our district manager told our store manager that “part timers are easily replaceable so it doesn’t matter if there’s turnover”. This company does not care about sales associates and it shows. They will pay a store manager almost $20 an hour with opportunities for a bonus every quarter, but argue with a manager about giving an associate a 50 cent raise each year. District managers will gossip about other stores/managers with you openly while they’re doing their store visits. I’ve been an assistant manager, store manager, and part time sales associate. I’ve been treated differently in every position. I could go on and on about the negatives. Bottom line, you will not feel important. At least not in the Oregon district. Unless this is your only option, try to find a company that will respect you no matter your job title.

Pros

Easy job Discount Free samples(sometimes) Don’t have to deal with the public because it is only licensed professionals

Cons

You work alone for a few outs Also if you are scheduled Sundays you work alone. Some people come in and steal and it’s scary if you don’t know how to handle the situation. Especially if you are alone Even though you don’t have to deal with the public you do at the same time because some people come in and try to shop even though they don’t have a license.

Pros

Customers are really nice and they do sell great products in store.

Cons

Don't walk but run as fast as you can. The job is easy for the most part and customers are great .Upper management is horrible!! Be prepared to work open to closes with no overtime. My raise was literally .13 cents and that's with making most of my goals. They will tell you about the bonus structure, but the goals are truly unachievable. My first Red flag was how everyone stayed quiet, defeated, and miserable on zoom meetings.Before the economy took a turn for the worst they literally couldn't hold on to a managers. If you're completely desperate for a job, I can't even say I'd recommend one.
