The workday is fine, customers tend to steal quite a bit and there isnt much we are allowed to do about it. The staff bathroom is very dirty and the light didnt work for 2/3rds of the time i was there. The staff are told not to tell customers that VIP is a subscription until AFTER we've signed them up. It is very difficult to cancel and we were not allowed to help them cancel it. The other staff is nice but our worth is based on how many subscriptions we can sell. And the pay is not nearly worth the overwhelming amount of work. I opened and closed the store on my own regularly and was only making $0.50 more than sales associates. The products are alright but way overpriced and you can absolutely find them in other stores for cheaper. Overall regardless of pay, I definitely wouldnt work here again. Nor would i reccommend a friend to work here, or even shop here.

Typical retail aside from the membership they force you to sell. Hours allocated are all up to how many vips your store gets. Store management was great as was the people I worked with but anyone above SM were out of touch and uncaring. Uppers don't care how well your store is doing unless you are getting those memberships. The pay was not great for any of the positions. There was also a supposed policy that we couldn't fire people unless corporate approved, which I understand but it was so the person wouldn't be able to collect unemployment because they were basically bullied into quitting due to cut hours or other things. 

The only FT people are the ASM and SM, who are required to get 40 hours. 

PT associates don't get any good benefits and the pay isn't livable ($10-12 at 10-25 hours typically, if that).

Work/life balance is nice and my manager is very accommodating. 

Typically one person is expected to run the store open to close multiple days a week which is taxing. It's very easy to get behind on the work load with how much they expect, especially when it's one person the whole day. 

I like that it's easy to contact upper management and it's encouraged to seek help if needed. 

However, payroll is the biggest issue here. 

Great for teens and young adults starting out, or even as a 2nd job.

Greeting customers, putting out new merchandise, price changes, organizing and cashiering also watching the floor to prevent theft!

In order for you to get anything, you have to sell VIPs by the dozen! If you want a good pay or even more hours, get more VIPS and magazines! This horrid company does NOT care for the employees at all, nor do they care about the customers. All they care about is the VIPs and that magazines that you HAVE to sell, you don't, then you're fired. End of discussion. 

The management sucks since there is no training there and you are FORCED to figure it out. So not only are you on your own, you have to make sure your pitch is perfect and never make a mistake. This place is garbage. Buy nerdy stuff elsewhere. 

corporate only cares about upselling their membership services (that are a complete scam) and employees were monitored through cameras in the store and would get in trouble for standing in one place for too long.  You were responsible for always finding something to do but managers would barely give directions and when the store wasn’t busy there was genuinely nothing to do you would still get in trouble.  Hours were 100% dependent on how many memberships you sold and employees were written up if they didn’t ask every single person they saw to join. 

Pushing magazines and discount cards feels so grossly dishonest, but your job relies on meeting quota. Customers often call/come into the store angry because their discount card is suddenly a monthly fee, yet you're encouraged to skirt around providing that information unless you're asked directly. Then and only then are you encouraged to tell them about the fee.
