Pros

• Honestly, none. Maybe a paycheck if you’re desperate. • You’ll learn how much stress you can handle before breaking.

Cons

• No room to move up unless you’re white or have connections. • Promotions go to clueless people with less experience. • Raises are pathetic and not worth the effort. • Constant flood of useless KPIs and emails. • Management shows zero loyalty—one mistake and you’re gone. • Supervisors kiss butt and throw you under the bus. • Toxic, stressful, and fake work environment. • No appreciation, no support, no future.

Pros

Decent base pay, somewhat autonomous, great tip potential.

Cons

The company has changed for the worse since COVID. When I came back the mood of the entire store had shifted. Gone were the days of comradery, customer focus, and taking pride in a job well done. In its place there is a new culture of cutthroat sales, a severe decline in customer focus, and worst of all a new focus on profit over customer satisfaction. When I was told that the amount the store charged for a shoe shine was not enough to do the best job I could for a customer I knew things had gone downhill for the company. Not to mention I watch a manager prey on a mentally disabled person in order to secure a sale, when the person could not understand what was being offered. Sad that such a once great company is now just another greed ridden corporation.
