Pros

Can't think of one, Nothing about this company is a PRO

Cons

You are forced to lie to deceit the customer in order to hit sales targets. The RM focuses more on your sales than you as a person, its always a case of what have you done for me lately. Commission is a joke, product quality is horrendous, and the support from head office is nonexistent when you complain to HR.

Pros

Great in store staff. 40% discount.

Cons

High goal expectations for associate, leads to stealing of sales. Comission sales can be stressful to some and cause animosity between the team if managers cannot keep it under control .

Pros

The few decent people you meet and the friendships you create with them. Casual dress code

Cons

Since management has changed this place went downhill. New management does not care about your needs or concerns, you are just brushed off to the side like trash. This is a gossip and drama environment that is very toxic to your mental health. There is a mean girl group that are on a witch hunt. Work is not evenly distributed at all, however everyone gets paid the same.. which does not make any sense. Some employees are sleeping/lounging/on their phones or watching shows; while others are working non-stop to complete tasks. Employees who really care about the company and put the most effort are walked on /used like a tissue. Pay raise is minimal and doesn’t depend on how hard you work – everyone is given the same %. They make you do the work load of 3 people, but the pay does not match up. You are never praised for your hard work and dedication. New management does not care about your opinion; they only think they are right. I highly suggest that anyone even thinking about applying here does themselves a favour, and look elsewhere. Don’t even get me started about head office, they themselves are a joke, thank you next. There are many companies out there that care about their employees and appreciate them. STAY AWAY YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!
