Cons
Revolving door as far a corporate/upper management, if you want to move up within you have to travel to other stores, what ever you negotiated at signing is what you will be paid(raises every year if you made your numbers at a 1% increase. You have to follow the dress code which is intense. I.E. (High heels, make up every day, manicured nails, only certain nail polish, only certain cuts and lengths of blouses and bottoms, only certain hair styles, only 4 color options for clothes, lace only on sides of clothing, no patterns). You make goals as a team, so if someone doesn't do their job and make their numbers you do not bonus.
