Pros

Discount! Having everything be on sale the moment you decide to shop is always a good thing. That is until your monthly bill comes. It is easier to justify buying a new par of shoes or bag when you know you are getting it at a discounted prices.

Cons

Very vertical management structure. The company operates under the idea of a reverse pyramid. The higher your level, expertise, etc, the lower you are on the pyramid. The concept takes some time getting used to because we are all trying to climb the corporate ladder.

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.
