-55% discount, free shoes to start. -flexible hours -possibility to move up within company if you work there for a few years. -part time shifts are usually only 4-5 hours
Cons
-upper management didn't have as much education as I did, you have to start from the bottom. -false hope in interview. Hired as seasonal without knowing. -was promised at least 25 hours a week, only worked a maximum of fifteen.
Advice to Management
Make sure employees know what they're getting into before you hire them. I applied to be a sales associate, management was very excited about me in interview I was told I was being payed more than the average sales associate, and it turned out I was being payed about the same as my coworkers and I was hired seasonally. I didn't know of the possibility of losing my job after the season until I was already working there. It doesn't matter the amount of experience or education you have, if you don't have a lot of retail experience they will not put you in a leadership role. The stores are very small, sometimes there are four to five people on the floor at once, and since it is a pricey store there is a lot of standing around especially during the week. This makes shifts go by very slowly.
