Pros

Good quality clothing, helps you train, and role play. Also, they don't seem to be pushy or hard when it comes to not meeting sales goals. they try to be fair.

Cons

The managers seem to hire teh same gender for one particular department and its hard to get into the other departments. They also dont like to keep temporary employees and they have associates taht may not like you to begin with.

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.
