Pros
I honestly have nothing good to say.
Cons
- This company has the weirdest work environment I’ve ever experienced. They never teach you what to do, only show you pointless videos that don’t really help with anything, and act like they’re the top sales people in the world. Not everyone that walks into the store wants a pushy sale person trying to force them to buy an entire outfit! - I always felt like I was being talked about (which I found out to be true and even management was involved) and they always made me feel unwelcomed. Reading other people’s reviews revealed I wasn’t the only one and that this is actually very common if you don’t “fit in” their clique. It’s sad a lot of stores even in different states have this problem. I also heard them talking about how I dressed (even though I wore the same clothing style as one of the team leaders) and that I wasn’t a good sales person on top of being told TO MY FACE “yeah we have higher expectations and what you sold isn’t as high of demand as our clothes.” - Forceful sales tactics. On my first day I was pretty much harassed by a team leader my entire shift and nearly had an anxiety attack. I’ve worked sales for years prior to this job so it wasn’t anything new to me. I was told I need to unlearn everything I knew and that if I don’t do it his way then I won’t succeed. I was very optimistic and figured this is a new field of sales so of course there’s new tactics I have to learn. Unfortunately, I wasn’t taught anything and was just tossed onto the sales floor and followed around. I’m not even kidding almost shoulder to shoulder all day and since I didn’t feel comfortable he thought it would be a good idea to grab a random clothing item and anytime someone walked in I had to present them regardless of if they were male or female to everyone or else he would give me a strike. I was completely humiliated bc I kept getting weird looks by everyone who I had presented to and even other employees noticed and told me he’s never done that to anyone else. Not to mention if you like pointless busy work then this is the place for you. - I was gaslighted into believing the commission and pay was a whole lot better than it actually was. - Even though there’s other things like the ridiculous SGPs I’ll end on this. Management was flat out rude, always had favorites and would hangout all the time after work, and had the high school mean girl attitude. One time I asked the GM a genuine question on how to overcome feeling pushy towards the customer or how to get them to buy more (since apparently I was so bad) and somehow that was upsetting and crossing a line. That GM told my store manager she didn’t appreciate it rather than giving me feedback like a manager is supposed to do. I’m also confused on why I wasn’t told on the spot rather than it getting amplified and told to everyone behind my back. The manager and assistant then cornered me, talked to me like a child, and tried to belittle me. If I didn’t repeat word for word what she said she would look at her assistant and say that’s not what I said was it and the assistant would agree like I wasn’t right there. I quit that day bc there’s plenty of jobs that pay better and don’t treat people like trash. I’m also an adult that’s not in preschool and has ears that work just fine so I didnt need to sit there and repeat what anyone said word for word.
