Pros
well you meet a lot of people and it is fun. you never know who you will meet and it is a high profile place. it is a high end retailer so the customers are great. you can really take advantage of the learning experiences that you will have there. It is on a commission basis so that sucks quit a bit. it is something that you have to get used to. but other than that my time here has been very interesting. will say i have met a lot of characters here. but i ghuess that is with any place
Cons
I would never, ever, reccomend this company to anybody. They treat their employees (especially their hourlies) like trash.
First off, even if you're covered by a union, don't count on getting benefits. The way that managers are told to schedule you will not allow you to make the hours requirement. And even if you do make that required amount of hours, if you call out, OR if your hours are cut even one week....forget about coverage.
Secondly, they are cheap. That's their biggest problem. They don't want to pay anybody holiday time, so they limit the coverage on Holidays. They also tell managers to hire as many people as possible as part time cashiers so they can avoid paying people for full time. All the new and converted stores are built half-assed. It's a high-risk job, as far as retail goes, because the stores get held up really frequently. And no, they aren't all that supportive of the employees involved in hold ups.
