Pros

Some employees are very professional and couteous, but get no recognition.

Cons

Unprofessional management, no recognition for job well done, store manager is NOT customer oriented, store manager does not know how to treat employees. Store manager is abrupt to employees if he acknowledges them at all. I have seen some employees humilate customers yet those employees get recognized for a job well done! Management have no clue.

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.
