Pluspunten
Great entry level job as well as second career for older, displaced workers like me. If you like commission sales and are good at it, you can make $35 to $40K easily. Base pay is $4.00 an hour (unless your store is in a "living wage" city), but lot's of ways to earn commission to supplement it. Lots of room for advancement if you embrace the company's rules and culture.
Minpunten
You'll ever know from week to week what your schedule will be, so it's hard to plan ahead for personal or family activities. If your store is not in a living wage city/state, you'll be unloading trucks, putting stock on the shelves as well as price tags, cleaning the store and all other merchandising tasks for base pay of $4.00. Merchandising can add up to between 1 and 3 hours per day. Benefits are adequate: Unite Health Care Medical Insurance; 5 days vacation and 5 days sick leave after the first year. Vacation days grow with years on the job, but you will never get more then 5 days sick leave in one year. No employer contribution to 401K. Employees are required to memorize and use sales scripts in their presentations.
