Pros

The company is moving fast and expects you to move twenty times the speed of normal. This allows you to gain tons of exposure to many departments in a short space of time. Free products Occasional sponsored lunch

Cons

Upper level management is a joke. Only friends get promoted within departments and the rest get left to be forgotten about. Gossiping around every corner and not enough meaningful work getting done. All work is sugar coated to make the company not appear like it’s failing. Pay is not competitive in the slightest. Easily $10-$15k under market value.

Pros

+ monthly training gratis + brand and product training + exposure to working with luxury brands + technology device supplements role

Cons

- unstable hours / unstable income - part-time employee classification has a wide weekly hourly gap (e.g., 15-29 weekly hours) and the availability expectation is that of a full-time (e.g., required to be open 4-5 a week, open to close) - minimal career growth if wanting to become full-time within the same store
