Pros

Exciting Product, Interesting vendors, for the most part great people to work with that have a ton of quirks and interesting personalities and you kind of live in a twisted reality with the level of product and spending power of customers you cater to!

Cons

Somewhat set in old ways, hard to break the mold with some business models. Somewhat slow to get an idea off the ground with all of the bureaucracy. Compensation could be better. Lack of upward mobility once you reach a certain level, rather small company once you get to mid tier management, not a lot of room for growth.

Pros

* If you have an amazing team and management the day goes by fast. * Commission. * Easy to rely on foot traffic to meet goals. * If you ask for growth, they set thing ups that align with what you want, you just need to ask.

Cons

* If its slow, its SLOW. * There can be drama, it just depends on the department you're in.

Pros

Employee discount and free samples

Cons

A toxic environment where sales are almost zero because vendors are pulling their product off the shelf because their bills aren’t getting paid. They’re in the middle of coming out of a bankruptcy , if a client does come in, we usually don’t have the product to sell them ,only lines who are partially thriving is fragrance ! The hours are terrible. You get off work at nine and you’re expected to be back at 9:30 AM.
