Pros

30% off discount for employees. Like being around people with similar interest.

Cons

Too many chiefs not enough Indians. Management hierarchy is confusing and micro manages every second of your time on the clock. If they see you idle one minute without a customer they will delegate you to another job where you don't make your " promotional money" ( commission ) which is a joke . They promise a commission adjustment which rarely gets added to your check. They falsely advertise the starting wage for sales associate as 11/ hr. After accepting the job you sign the paper of your new position of 10/ hr+ commission. A couple supervisors there come across very aggressive and hostile .

Pros

weekly pay is good. There is also commission but it's not much. You make more money on the quantity you sell rather than amount. For example the commission on a $100 show is $1. Sell 10 shoes get $10 extra on your check. Sell a $1000 item get $10 dollars. Good culture at paragon though and atmosphere overall. very diverse team

Cons

lack of professionalism and structure
