Pros

fabulous co-workers as they are very adept at hiring "top talent", articulate, educated, well groomed , personable etc..., flexible scheduling

Cons

Call in shifts should be illegal, a "part-time job" should have a minimum of 20 hours guarnteed- here it is three...many people on payroll with three hours a week though begging for more hours...company provides not a job, but an "opportunity" to work via "call-in" shifts which far out number scheduled shifts...you must be available these 20 or so hours, the majority of which you will never work...no benefits, no hours, no security, no breaks, no respect...sub par wages, associates constantly asked if we work on commission...these associates can sell! yet are never rewarded for performance

Pros

Good discounts on merchandise, easy work.

Cons

I would have loved to purchase some of their products conisdering the 40% off discount for employees, but they failed to pay me enough to sustain myself let alone buy from their store! I was getting paid about $150 every two weeks! They never notified me about how little I'd be working or about what my schedule would be like, my shifts were completely random. If you want a set schedule each week. this job isn't for you, you're lucky to get 1 shift a week that only lasts about 3-4 hours. Once again, my supervisors failed to mention this, thinking it was more important that I know how to sell products than whether or not I get paid enough to survive. I don't know why there was so much emphasis on selling merchandise to customers anyway, these products practically sell themselves. I had a lot of questions starting out since I was a NEW EMPLOYEE and all and had never worked a job like this in my life, but for some reason my supervisors failed to see this and instead made me feel ashamed and embarassed for asking the simplest of questions. They'd actually get mad and a little sassy at me for asking a question, like where a specific item was or how to do a return. I have to remind you, I had just started and my shifts were so sporadic it was difficult to retain all the info, so I HAD to ask questions.
