Pros

discount, paid vacation, some room to grow, career and product knowledge. Great start if you are into upscale retail business

Cons

depends on location and people. If you are working in the busy downtown location, your managers and co-workers are very supportive and understand the daily situations. If its in the suburban area, you are likely getting constant pressure to make sales for the store when the traffic are low on weekdays

Pros

Decent base pay, somewhat autonomous, great tip potential.

Cons

The company has changed for the worse since COVID. When I came back the mood of the entire store had shifted. Gone were the days of comradery, customer focus, and taking pride in a job well done. In its place there is a new culture of cutthroat sales, a severe decline in customer focus, and worst of all a new focus on profit over customer satisfaction. When I was told that the amount the store charged for a shoe shine was not enough to do the best job I could for a customer I knew things had gone downhill for the company. Not to mention I watch a manager prey on a mentally disabled person in order to secure a sale, when the person could not understand what was being offered. Sad that such a once great company is now just another greed ridden corporation.
