Pros

Comission can be a beneficial pay as a younger person. Promotion with in is generally a good concept because the longer you dedicate yourself to the company the better chance you have at moving up within it.

Cons

Comission pay as a professional career it is dissatisfying and unreliable. A lot of unprofessionalism in department managers in my experience and others I have spoken with.

Lots of physical work, putting back the shoes is challenging. Sometimes my coworkers would be too competitive.

Pros

Decent base pay, somewhat autonomous, great tip potential.

Cons

The company has changed for the worse since COVID. When I came back the mood of the entire store had shifted. Gone were the days of comradery, customer focus, and taking pride in a job well done. In its place there is a new culture of cutthroat sales, a severe decline in customer focus, and worst of all a new focus on profit over customer satisfaction. When I was told that the amount the store charged for a shoe shine was not enough to do the best job I could for a customer I knew things had gone downhill for the company. Not to mention I watch a manager prey on a mentally disabled person in order to secure a sale, when the person could not understand what was being offered. Sad that such a once great company is now just another greed ridden corporation.
