Pros

The 30% BBW and 20% VS discount. Working with peers, people you can relate to and become good friends with. Gratis. (Free stuff)

Cons

Managers and CSL's get away with EVERYTHING. One night, the CSL sat in the back all night and I was the only one on the floor, made the segment all by myself in 40 minutes, and all she said was "I owe you starbucks". (Which I never got) Call ins (Usually the only hours you get, unless you are a favorite) For all the hassling of customers and pushing we do, there should be some sort of commission or incentives for associates. LOW pay. Minimum wage. For me, no hours during the week (except maybe a call in) and then my Saturdays have one long shift, and friday and Sunday, both call ins. Going to school during the week, this really makes me have NO life what so ever. FLOORSETS!!!! Always scheduled til 12, never leave before 2 am. On Sundays. Even if you don't have "overnight" availability.

Pros

Good discounts on merchandise, easy work.

Cons

I would have loved to purchase some of their products conisdering the 40% off discount for employees, but they failed to pay me enough to sustain myself let alone buy from their store! I was getting paid about $150 every two weeks! They never notified me about how little I'd be working or about what my schedule would be like, my shifts were completely random. If you want a set schedule each week. this job isn't for you, you're lucky to get 1 shift a week that only lasts about 3-4 hours. Once again, my supervisors failed to mention this, thinking it was more important that I know how to sell products than whether or not I get paid enough to survive. I don't know why there was so much emphasis on selling merchandise to customers anyway, these products practically sell themselves. I had a lot of questions starting out since I was a NEW EMPLOYEE and all and had never worked a job like this in my life, but for some reason my supervisors failed to see this and instead made me feel ashamed and embarassed for asking the simplest of questions. They'd actually get mad and a little sassy at me for asking a question, like where a specific item was or how to do a return. I have to remind you, I had just started and my shifts were so sporadic it was difficult to retain all the info, so I HAD to ask questions.
