Pros

-40% off clothing!! -Learn more about trends and styling -Learn visual work -Flexible schedule -Friendly customers, If satisfied

Cons

Where shall I begin. As a sales associates you are expected to do a lot!! fitting rooms, start rooms, get shoes, do go backs, cashier, grab a size. If a sensor is found the managers blame you for it and in their emails they write your name, yet they're also inside the store? (Pathetic) If you're in the fitting rooms (back) you're expected to be at 5 places at the same time while still opening rooms for customers and starting room and doing figure eights in the back BY YOURSELF, at time doing all of this is a struggle yet you still get in trouble if there is a customer waiting in line yet the manager asked you to be helping another customer at the same time..WHAT?!. You are supposed to black dot or gold dot in order to have job security, if you red dot you get written up (All based on your sales goals). In slow days the sale goals aren't met, and that just pours down on you. Managers steal sales BEWARE, Ive caught some and confronted them. Managers do take advantage of you!! At least in my store theres 5 managers and four sales associates (Weird ratio). Youre also expected to wear the current Windsor clothes. I was critized by what I was wearing just because it wasn’t from Windsor and was dressed too “basic”. Oh most importantly, you get paid minimum wage and do wayyyyy too much, atleast more than what you’re being paid for!!! Even if you get customers compliments to your managers your work goes unrecognized by the management. I can multitask, but honestly I cant be all over the store at the same time.

Pros

The company has a great culture and is led by a team of incredible executives. In the field, we are given the trust and freedom to run our districts like our own business. Leadership values my input and communication and expectations are clear. The the work-life balance is highly supported. Excellent bonus structure if your stores hit their targets. The company fosters growth from within and provides tools and training to help develop leadership skills. My peers and mentors create a collaborative and fun environment.

Cons

The stores are very fast paced so it can be challenging to retain employees. A car allowance would be beneficial for all the wear and tear we put on our personal vehicles with so much driving
