Disappointing to say the least.
Pros: - Great benefits
- Good Pay
- Management sometimes tries to make work fun by throwing get-togethers and getting catering
- Learn a lot in your first few months
Cons: - Numbers, numbers, numbers. When I first started as a Product Advisor I wasn't told/aware about how number-centered the entire store was. Every morning we go over numbers as well as every night. If your sales were doing poorly or even if they were going well you'd get a meeting with one of the managers who'd basically berate you and make all your successes feel worthless. There were very obvious cliques and some of my coworkers were blatantly racist against me. Constantly stayed past the hours I was marked for, and was strongly suggested by management to not go on any breaks otherwise you'd get talked to or on a manager's bad side. If numbers and micromanaging wasn't shoved down our throats every waking moment I probably would have loved working here. Very long hours, 9 hours was typical and you almost always stayed past your assigned time.
