Vantaggi
As a design student its great to chill and chat with customers who are passionate about design. It's definitely better than working minimum wage at a grocery store or something. Wage was okay, not great, no sales commission, 60% discount was pretty sweet.
Svantaggi
They're always hiring for this role, lots of turnover. Why? Bad management. Umbra doesn't care about the store for sales as much as it's brand image, being the flagship store. My manager was great but also said he was mislead about the role and ended up leaving because of this. The CEO's wife, not even store manager will micromanage, push you to bother customers who aren't looking for help(driving them to leave the store for pushy sales tactics), and talk about other employees to you behind their backs, and then have you fired if she decides she doesn't like you. A few former associates and I call it getting Wendy'd. Be prepared, she might seem to like you only to have you dropped the next day. Your job here is not stable.
