I worked at Saks Fifth Avenue full-time for less than a year

Pros – Working with amazing designer handbags such as Chanel, Dior, and Prada. Amazing employee discount even on brands that never go on sale. The opportunity to make a decent sales commission.

Cons – Working on the sales floor is extremely competitive. Be careful of other employees who have reputation of stealing others sales. If working as a full time employee be aware that if a customer returns an item that counts against your sales goals. Since the pay is based on the draw system you either make your hourly or you make your commission, whichever is higher. But in order to make commission you must be above your sales goals weekly to stay out of the hole.

Advice to Senior Management – Treat everyone equally. Management tends to side with whomever has the highest sales.
