Pros

Discount is 50% off apparel

Cons

-Company provides a lot of paid holidays and time off, but never lets you use it. Don’t even think about taking a sick day. -company gives up on employees and does not develop them further when they are underperforming. -they fire without warning or giving valid and detailed explanation -my personal experience with my store leader was awful. She picked favorites. She belittled and bullied me. Told me I was awful and that everyone hated me, and then every employee came to me telling me that wasn’t true. -I put in my own two weeks notice and my store leader forced me out before my two weeks were up. -the same store leader spent 40 minutes bullying me in a sit down conversation and would not let me get a word in. Then acted shocked when I put my notice in. -they make changes last minute on higher up level and expect the store lever to just figure it out. -they claim to care about their people, but it does not show in their actions. -overall they have a lot of improvements to make. Every year they force us to take a great place to work survey and there is a lot of pressure to lie and say we’re happy on the survey when it is not true. -company is not diverse. It’s all older white people making decisions up top. They have one person of color in upper management and use him as an example of how inclusive the company is even though it reflects no where else. -there are so many better places to work in retail, I would avoid this place at all costs.

Not the best place to work

Pros

The give back is amazing and our CEO is pretty great too. The discount is nice as well as the bonus structure.

Cons

Lots of cons unfortunately. I was wrongfully terminated and I could not reach HR. I called every day for two weeks and I spoke to HR once and they told me they would call me back but never did. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of “checks and balances” an example being there are rarely any DM audits, I personally haven’t had a QCC in over a year which should be a requirement.

Pros

The giveback and great business partners

Cons

Hypocritical environment. A lot of preaching on being a decent human and doing good- unfortunately there are certain people at the top that do not practice what they preach (especially the CEO) and it effects the entire company. Ask around before coming to work here, do your homework, and don’t let the “Great Places To Work” sticker fool you.
