Pros

Employee Discount Good people to work with.

Cons

EVERYTHING centered around getting memberships and credit cards. Not enough help in stores. No matter how much you excel at your role, leadership constantly wants more out of you. No respect for Operations team or what they do. Location was operationally broken with no interest in fixing by leadership.

Pros

They were super flexible with my school schedule, and I had a lot of great experiences with people and managers. Really broadened my speaking and sales skills, which has massively improved my ability in interviews and the like.

Cons

I had some really bad managers sometimes. If we close at 9 and we're supposed to be out at 9:30 why are we consistently leaving at 11/12? Why do we have people on staff that obviously make other staff uncomfortable? Why am I guilt tripped because I need to leave at the time it says in my schedule due to other engagements? And when I relent and stay an hour later, why am I guilt tripped again? Some customers treat you poorly, management might stand up for you, but they're just as likely to throw you under the bus. I was threatened with a "talking to" because I turned away a customer because they were incredibly rude to me. That is all on top of increasing demands to sell, and decreasing likelihood of actually making a sale. There will be months where no one will sell much of anything, and you'll be threatened with a firing. That's after you worked 40 hours that week and you're the only person in your section. I closed 3-4 sections, got no help, and was forced to stay late or I'd be fired. Look, I met a lot of great people, it was fun sometimes, but god I have 10 bad stories for every 1 good one.
