Pros

Your weekly bonuses from making sales goals. Company contests prizes including cash. Company meetings. Employee discount is 50% off.

Cons

Absolutely zero work life balance. You never get off on time due to all the tasking the company springs on you on top of one person coverage and still maintaining your sales goals. You can't get to every customer when your alone being the seller, the cashier, and running your own shoes which allows plenty of customers to steal your inventory. You have to hold your bowels alot. They don't care how they constantly over work you with low pay. They say they will give raises but really dont. The expectations can be unrealistic when they don't set you up for success because they're tight on payroll. The turn over is never ending which gets you denied of vacations. The DMs threaten to fire you for not making the shoe care goals, they make you work extra, holding workshops with your entire team that you won't get extra payroll for-even if your making your individual goal. The DMs micro manage your every move and constantly bring you down about the shoe care, it's highly stressful and demotivating. You are a robot/number expected to be there 24/7 to make sure you team is making their numbers.

Pros

The manager was awesome, very supportive, and always approachable, which created a positive and motivating work environment. The team was collaborative and worked well together during busy shifts, and the fast-paced setting helped me build strong customer service, communication, and multitasking skills.

Cons

The role can be fast-paced and requires meeting sales goals, which may feel challenging at times, especially during peak hours. However, this also provides a good opportunity to develop resilience and improve sales skills.
