Pros

25% Employee Discount on Everything.

Cons

The Hourly Wage is far below the average (around 15 an hour) for large retailers. Home Depot is currently paying 3 dollars an hour more just to be a regular associate. I am unsure why DSG is having such a hard time keeping up. The store I worked at had a massive issue with payroll. Every time we closed, there would be one person running all the hard lines and floor because corporate does not give enough hours to associates. The store is unorganized due to this.

Pros

Employee Discount Opportunity to provide customers an experience in which they can be confident in buying a new shoe for style, function and support-related reasons. Great selling tools, devices and display fixtures to work with

Cons

This is not really a con since I believe it is an important part of the job. Newer and current workers may need to keep up up to date and do research on products in order to be able to help customers effectively and efficiently.
