Pros
The scheduling was flexible due to the number amount of employees on staff. You get to see new product early before customers are able to shop for it. You get to see celebrities come and shop on random occasions.
Cons
I wish I would have received more support from the management staff. I have been a sales associate for another retailer, but each store and environment is different. I didn't like the tension and hierarchy, so to speak, amongst those who were "sales associates" and those who were "personal shoppers". We both do the same thing yet personal shoppers are treated as though they are more of an asset to the team and claim territory on the same sales floor. I have been a sales associate just as long as them, I expected to receive the same treatment.
