Pros

- Edgy and fun brand - On trend artistry

Cons

- Toxic management - Overworked with promises of promotions then given wrong advice of how to interview so they can put a friend into the role. - No work life balance - No logic to payment structure - I was earning considerably less than someone I was managing. When questioning this I was told I shouldn't know this information therefore I should keep quiet. - Area managers never turn up for reviews sometimes cancelling after the meeting schedule had begun. I had 2 reviews in the many years I was with them. When some managers would arrive they would have shopping bags where they had used their working hours to shop and would even shop whilst I had my time with them, which left me perplexed as I wandered round a store giving advice on fashion when I could've been using my time bettering my business. - No coaching from management, only giving figures with no context or goal. - Management talked about staff in a very unprofessional manner.

Pros

High rate of compensation, fun and exciting employment type not like a boring office setting.

Cons

No compensation for travel, Very Very high and unrealistic sales goals for every shift and even worse for event days, minimal hours, no benefits, not supposed to take breaks even on long shifts unless your clocking out and not getting paid but was told I had to stay later if I took a fifteen on Any 5 or 6 hour shift even though NYS law says with that many hours you are entitled to a fifteen minute break, Just in general alot of expectations from you without proper compensation for hourly/travel/benefits. The only way im surviving with this employment is that im getting disability and my benefits through the state otherwise I wouldn't be able to do this job there wouldn't be enough offered.
