Pros
The bond between associates and assistant managers to work together to make the store functional and looking great for the customers! The assistant managers really care about the store and their associates; it is shown every day in their hard work and training! Excellent retention of loyal associates and assistant managers; but they are not compensated enough. Great retention of regular customers through designer discount program and world market rewards!
Cons
The pay is horrible considering the amount of workload delegated to associates and assistant managers. The pay for sales and stock associates is way too low, relative to other businesses nearby and work requires more multitasking and physical ability.. The raises per year are only 30 to 75 cents and the raises do not accurately reflect those deserving more merit.. The amount of pay for assistant managers is roughly half that of the Store manager, for supposedly the same workload.. But the Assistant Managers work more hours and do more to complete the overall workload and always open and close the store with us. Its sad, Assistant Managers make barely $5 more than newly hired associates, from what I heard.
