Pros
Several associates complain they do everything a manager does. And if you work for a great manager you would really believe this. Managers are expected to make personal sales goals, store goals and all operations. Having only pt associates makes stronger store managers. If associates are interested moving up it is possible with hard work and flexibility. We get the opportunity to try new products for free and get training with all new products Senior management shows appreciation for hard work when deserved. This is the first company in over 10 years of retail I felt like a person and not a number. Goals are based on numbers the previous year so no goal is unattainable like several stores I have worked for. I have bonused 9 of 12 months this fiscal year.
Cons
If you are in a select number of stores you may have a bad experience due to management or lack there of. You may also work in an area with only 1 or 2 stores which is harder to move up. Operations are a constant change without direction from people who will actually be using the forms.
