Pros

Its a good job. Decent discount. Great customer service. For the most part friendly people.

Cons

Commission sales. returns welcome even if merchandise has been worn. losing benefits if you dont have enough hours. hiring super young girls that have no experience what so ever. Managers dont even know what they are doing. maybe a select few.

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.
