Pros

The only thing this place has going for its self are the benefits, other than that its not worth your time and effort.

Cons

Some things to think about. Commissions are almost non existent you only get paid if store meets its goal not an easy job as goals tend to be very very high. Management both local and corp are a joke, they would rather waste company money on bs rather than pay commission from dollar one of your sales. They will not hesitate to cut your hours if your sales are down even slightly, they some how dont understand or dont want to, associates cant make people come into the store so if they are not coming then guess what management heads no sales. You would rather blame the associate for not doing her job. Salary for those of you who dont know the only way you can get paid a some what higher salary is by working in a Platinum store, if you are gold or sliver you get paid min. wage or just above, even though you perform the same functions in every store.

Pros

Getting 1% of your sales commission every month + base play + bonuses depending on how well the store does adds up a lot. When I worked here, I was one of the best sellers in my district and my store was 14/21 in our district - which led to me making roughly $21-$23 an hour once you added everything up and divided by the amount of time that I worked. Stocking and pushing stuff to the floor is cartoonishly easy considering how small the sunglasses and that packaging actually is. AP is super easy because there's not that much ground to cover. The biggest thing is that this job basically lives and dies by how good of a seller you are and how much of a people person you are. 80% of this job is just about making sales and hitting company quotas and the other 20% is visual merchandising, operational management, making schedules, etc.

Cons

In my district, the district manager kept badgering us about our numbers and moving goal post for us even when we were off the clock and getting in touch with him was nearly impossible. They're also really nitpicky when it comes to how you allocate hours and how you schedule people - even when the store is already meeting company goals. There's also just a lot of straight up favoritism in upper upper management and a lot of nonsense decisions the DM just made because of "vibes" and nothing else. They pushed a lot of unrealistic goals for stores on super short notice and they came up with a lot of ideas that were just kinda trash - while forcing us to swallow it and to try to make it work.
