Pros

The pay is really good and you have the ability to make a lot if you are good at selling. They don't put too much pressure on you to sell and focus more on customer service. The other workers and the customers are fun to work with.

Cons

You have to wait around for a promotion and keep asking if you want one. Sometimes promotions go to those who ask for it the most, not those who have the skills and abilities of a good manager.

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.
