Pros

The money is pretty good especially for young adults fresh out of college. You will meet a lot of cool people while your there for sure because most of the employees are between the ages of 22-35. They will be like your family in a sense because you spend more time with them than your actual family. Also from time to time if your GM is cool lunch will be free (if you don't mind junk food). Expect to make about 55-65 yearly at the sales position.

Cons

Poor work life balance, especially in the tax season when the flood gates open and customers are in your face literally all day long. Expect on average 12-16 hour work days during that time of year (from Feb -May); money will be good though but you'll almost always be too tired to hang with family or friends. If your easily bored and don't like making pointless phone calls then this job isn't for you; or if you come from a sports back ground and you still enjoy staying in good shape, HA forget about it. Also you'll be forced to work with a few idiots in the management positions who've brown nosed there way to the top because eventually they will promote if you've been there long enough (and the worst part is they will change and think there superior to you for that reason). Also one of the biggest things you'll experience almost each and every month is the blame at the sales position of your store starts falling behind on budget. Job just gets old for folks who don't want to be in management positions

Ouch - a two star rating? We hate to see these, especially from someone who does have a positive outlook and would recommend the company to a friend. As I'm sure you've already heard, we are making great strides to improving the work and life balance of our retail employees. Stick in there while we roll our the changes and please continue to provide feedback to your management teams. Thanks for taking the time to leave this well thought-out review.

Pros

Decent health benefits, nice holiday parties, opportunity to learn a lot, cordial VP and CEO, fun co-workers and good volunteer opportunities.

Cons

Minimal paid time off, health benefits could have been better, training was lacking and encouragement was non-existent, wish I'd had a different boss.

We're sorry to hear that it sounds like you had a "meh" time while employed with us. Sounds like you enjoyed our culture while the "perks" were on the disappointing side of things. We really appreciate the candid feedback and wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.

Pros

This is great place to start your career in sales, and if your want to go into management the opportunity is always there. Great work life balance for most of the year.

Cons

Management is young talent you will have to deal with some unprofessionalism and favoritism as a sales advisor because Sales Managers control the leads and will give them to the Sales Advisors the have personal relationships with.
