Pros

They provide a vending machine with food you can buy.

Cons

Quota based work that is not transparent when you first start. Lifting mannequins over and over again is very taxing on the back and I'm a young able bodied person. They treat the photographers like lower class citizens because we're really just disposable and it's about shoving as much product through the pipeline as possible.

Pros

Good peer group of women on the team. Mileage reimbursement is provided.

Cons

Extremely high sales quotas that are difficult to consistently achieve, paired with limited compensation upside even when goals are met. The organization feels top-heavy, with too many layers of management relative to the field team, which creates inefficiencies and slows decision-making. Management style can feel overly micromanaged and at times more focused on process and tone than actual business growth or performance metrics. There is limited perceived career growth, and compensation does not scale meaningfully with experience or performance. Overall morale among the sales team is low, and employee concerns around workload, pay, and structure do not always feel addressed in a meaningful way.
