Pros

-Competitive Pay -quarterly bonus (as much as a biweekly paycheck) -good health care packages

Cons

-store leader lacks morals, stability, emotion, and bully’s the team on the daily about appearance, weight and creates a toxic work environment. -absolutely no work-life balance when it comes to being off work and still being contacted nonstop about work related issues, workloads, or drama created by store leader. - company hold the team to a VERY unrealistic expectations of sales goals, metrics, and comp vs leverage. -secret shops were used to beat down the team on any little thing, rather than a developmental tool to streamline guest service. -District leaders turn a blind eye on passive aggressive store leaders who belittle their team and don’t hold SL accountable for actions. -no diversity within the team, All white woman, where is the representation in people of color, ethnicity’s, backgrounds, and orientations? -ALSO, a good portion of the cheap clothes that come in shipment, usually has mold on it…and sometimes cross contaminates with other poorly make items. -bulk buy BETTER garments, not cheap fast fashion that you can find literally on SHIEN or Francesca’s

Pros

Discount is good and pay however you will realize all of the pay isn’t worth the workload, the mental anguish and how your treated

Cons

Smoke and mirrors. I was brought into this company at the beginning of 4th quarter. I was told all these beautiful lies about how amazing this company is and how supportive everyone is. I received horrible training, but took it in stride. I arrived to my store and then found out that it was in shambles when it came to culture and results. I did my best to stay afloat throughout 4th quarter, but it was brutal and I was not supported my DL at all. I was constantly being asked to go assist two other stores. There were many weeks I didn’t get one day off and most days were over 12 hours. I thought it would get better after 4th quarter, but it’s gotten worse. The higher ups that I encountered came off rude and judgmental and didn’t approach the encounter in a way that would support me or inspire me. I feel like this company breeds mean girls. I have already given my notice because I mentally and physically cannot take this environment and lack of support. I have never felt so devalued and dehumanized as I have while working here and I am heartbroken over it because I was so excited about this job and company. I wanted this to be my forever career because it seemed like it wanted to do good within retail. I wanted to help make a difference and create a better world, but this company employs so many cruel, nasty demons that take the form of smiling blonde women in felt hats.
