Pros

Okay. So the only reason there are 4 stars is because of the associate discount. IT IS CRAZY GOOD. Also, this would be the only reason I would ever go back to this company to work with as well. 0.5% Commission usually makes up for the taxes that deduct from your paycheck.

Cons

These TERRIBLE things called on calls, where you are technically not scheduled but must have that time open anyways in case they need you and tell you to come to work. YOU have to call to check if they need you or not 2 hours before your scheduled on call. Also, SNOBBY, STUCK UP management. Like really, you manage at a retail clothing store.. get your head out of your butt please. your not that important. When you are shopping in your own time they do NOTHING for you act as if you don't exist. Making goal doesnt mean you are a good associate...management has to like you in order to be an outstanding associate and get more hours.

Pros

There are a lot of talented, hardworking people at this company, which makes recent leadership decisions even more frustrating.

Cons

Communication around major organizational changes has been vague and inconsistent, leaving employees with significant uncertainty and little confidence in the direction of the business. Morale has declined considerably. Many employees feel that years of experience, performance, and institutional knowledge are being undervalued in favor of rigid policies and top-down decision making.
