Pros

Discount but even that is worth hardly anything... the management may get 33% off which is good but if your not a manager you only get 20%. Which really isn't much especially since they treat you like crap as an employee... like your money as an employee isn't good enough.

Cons

Too preoccupied with appearance and treat the employees as if they were beneath them. You hardly get paid for anything.... You make basically 9 dollars an hour... and if you're a good sales person maybe 10... but that's if your lucky, so don't fall for the information in the interview. it's either you get commission or the 9 dollars an hour, and to beat the 9 dollars an hour is insane. I don't know why I try.

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.
