Pros

The discount for employees is good. The benefits are on par with the industry. The product is a good value and easy to sell.

Cons

Due to the rapid expansion after going public, the company is now another big retailer without a heart. There used to be a feeling of family and friendship between corporate, regional and the boutique level which ensured employee loyalty and hard work. Now the staff are underpaid, undervalued and overworked leading to higher turnover and dissatisfaction. The BMR's have little control over hiring/staffing which causes huge problems.

Pros

I loved the flexibility of my boss scheduling me according to free time with my college work.

Cons

I felt like it was a very serious job and sometime my boss would make me go up to guests and keep askign them questions right when they walk in the door.
