Fun experience, but pay could be much better
Fun experience, but pay could be much better
Great coworkers and team who are dedicated to providing the best experience for customers.
Satisfying when you feel like you've really helped someone and got them the best deal.
Fun place to work when managers aren't breathing down your neck.
Pay is mediocre, even though they claim that their pay is meant to compete with commission salesmen.
Management pressures sales staff heavily, as they are commissioned.
Scheduling can be a nightmare at times, but this is anywhere in retail.
Top management can sometimes not be in the store for days at a time.
Ability to move up is hampered by "lifer" managers who will never leave unless their position is eliminated.
General managers must come from a manager factory, as they are all exactly the same.
Pay your employees more fairly, and hold yourselves to the same standards you hold us to.

When I interviewed, I first had a screening interview with the store lead. After that was completed, I had an in-person interview with the store manager that maybe took 30 minutes.

Very laid back, almost too laid back. Nothing serious. Wore a suit, but felt casual was alright. I don't think the questions were too difficult; they mainly asked scenario and personality questions.

Very easy, basic interview with the store manager. The manager was very friendly and didn't just focus on sales questions, but also talked about our cultures, etc. He hired me on the spot, I signed the required documents, and I was good to go.
