Pros

Great employee discount and working with amazing staff! It's a great position of you like people and educating people about great products!

Cons

Shrinking payroll hours for staff. More expected, as far as availability. Pay is minimum wage for sales associates and no raises this year. This company used to be the "go to" for cooks. Now, may as well go to Home Goods which sell similar items at 40% off. New management has turned this once amazing company into just another store that sells kitchen stuff. No more uniqueness. (Revol, large selection of Rosle). No more selection like it used to be.

Pros

Staff was friendly and willing to help through the hiring and training process, and tasks were shared evenly

Cons

Management implements rules that harm the flow of sales and make for terrible checkout lines. Scheduling was always done last minute and it was impossible have a stable work schedule due to last minute changes and no stable scheduling duties for managers
