Pros

Great discount, Great fashion and Great fun most of the time!

Cons

Hours were very erratic! Hated telemarketing! Hated tthe pressure to constantly dress more thank I could afford to buy what I could afford to on my salary. You will literaly need a second job to pay for your wardrobe! It is expected to wear what is on the floor...so if you can only afford Brass Plum...apply there! I am dead serious!!

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.
