Pros

-Discount was fair -Everyone was a keyholder

Cons

-Next to no upper level management -Extremely strict dress code -No room for moving up in the company whatsoever, everyone above sales associates were hired in -Unfair pay, with no raises or loyalty towards those who had worked there longest -High pressure sales tactics -Relatively unsafe work environment (many high shelves in back rooms led to boxes and items being dropped on me) -Aggression from management if goals were not met/exceeded every single day -Surprise visits from upper level management, insinuating longtime employees could not be trusted -Absolutely zero respect from company and management for work/life balance, employees are expected to prioritize their job over everything else in their life, including school, family, etc. -Often received calls on days off and late at night from management asking for things such as availability, help with customers via phone, etc. -Management would not allow calls to their home once they left work even if there was a problem, but employees were expected to be on call at all times. -Misleading information given to customers on purpose
