Pros

Free pair of glasses for your yearly anniversary, sub-par health benefits for full time employees, the ability to manage a sales team, practising your personal sales strategies, strengthening your interpersonal skills...

Cons

Unrealistic sales goals, the removal of the ability to make 4% commission, only making commission if the region makes goal, decrepit computer system, manually counting sunglasses hours after closing, standing on your feet for hours at a time because you cant have a break since its too busy, middle management performance pressure, no lunch or breaks all because of the "needs of the business," being held accountable for glasses being stolen...HIRE A SECURITY GAURD like Zara if you're so concerned with this, I'm a sales person not a loss prevention expert.

Pros

you get to make connections with some fun customers and you get a free pair of glasses once a year.

Cons

literally everything else is a con. management is very discriminatory and favors people who are closer in race/ethnicity. they do NOT take criticism well but will micromanage every single thing you do or don’t do. the stores are unkept and literally dirty in every way imaginable. you will never be offered a raise. you will never be offered to move up. if you’re part time, you can expect 4 hours a week and that’s it. if you ask for more hours you likely won’t get it but they will call you last minute (often hours before a shift) as soon as they need someone for coverage. commission is like maybe 1%. goals are sometimes unreasonable and do not adjust according to weather, events, traffic, etc. management constantly watches surveillance cameras throughout the day just to nitpick employees in real time.
