Pros

-I use to like the product and style -the discount

Cons

So many to list: -management uses psychological bullying tactics -they expect you to do work above your pay grade but refuse to promote/pay you appropriately -no work/life balance -if you don't have full availability (basically 9am-9pm, 7 days a week) you are looked down on and penalized, even if you want one night off a week to take a class. While managers are allowed to do this and make schedules to fit their own needs -not given the legal amount of time between shifts -sometimes made to work 10 days in a row -management reviews are inconsistent and based on favouritism and not your actual work -constantly been promised coaching in order to advance and then never receiving it, they can keep you on the hook of the promise of advancement for months/years on end -gossip culture in stores and in between stores in the district -high turnover, especially of managers -inconsistent and time consuming warranty and repair policies/process

Pros

50% discount on every item. Limit: 10 items per day. 70% discount twice a month.

Cons

One of the worst places to work at. Management is very unorganized unclear. Their customers are very dear to them but the managers don't care about their employees. I was simply fired for calling in sick. I requested the manager to provide her with a valid doctor's note since I was legitimately sick but she refused and said 'you are an unreliable person'. When they release the schedule the employees have on-call shifts. Meaning if the on-call shift is 5-10PM, the employee has to call two hours prior to the shift and ask the manager on duty if he/she is needed. Mostly the manager would say you are not required. This way you cannot estimate the amount of money you would make and WILL be bound for those days since you still have to call and ask and a missed call is equivalent to a missed shift and corrective action will be taken against it. All of this was not mentioned at the time of hiring.
