Vantaggi
Definitely a fun retail environment at times. You get to know some really cool customers and consignors who bring in awesome stuff. I came out of the job with a lot of brand and designer knowledge. Great place to work if you love fashion and love talking with people in a retail environment.
Svantaggi
Very sketchy business practices with too many loopholes. After an item "expires" but sells even the day after the expiration date, the money goes to the company, not the consignor (unfair).
Sales associates work shifts alone at times and are expected to do consignment appointments, process consignment, take pictures of merchandise and post it to Instagram, answer questions on Instagram, answer phone calls, clear out fitting rooms and do go backs, engage with customers on the sales floor and ring people out. It can be extremely overwhelming especially when it's a busy day.
