Great concept/give back company Nice selection of retail Good soundtrack

Elaborate window and store displays expected to be put together with lack of help. Required to work 45 hours and only received pay for 40. Too much back stock.

Thank you for your recent post. We take great pride in our give back and strive to improve the communities in which we live and work. Please know that our windows and in store visual presentations are what differentiates us in shopping centers across the country and our success is largely due our Store Leaders creating an exceptional guest experience. As you know, Store Managers and Assistant Store Managers are required to work a 40 hr work week. During the holidays and peaks in business, that may fluctuate, however we do not require 45 hour work weeks. Thanks for your note and we hope that you will continue to give back and stand out for good in your own community.

Pros

The environments this company builds are beautiful and well thought out. They really put thought into where and how they place their stores.

Cons

Absolutely no work life balance, they preach family and community but work their staff to death. This leads to poor management because the only people who can make it with the company are unkind bosses who abuse power, not leaders. The executives have very misguided understandings of retail management and execution and store managers abuse power. They make promises they can’t keep and do not pay their staff fairly, promising amounts they can’t give. I highly recommend staying away from this company and taking your desire to do good elsewhere.

Thank you for your recent submission. We appreciate your feedback and will always utilize these reviews to better understand how we can improve both the guest and associate experience. As you know, our Store Managers work an average of 43 hrs per week outside of hectic holiday periods. In addition, we provide our stores with the hours needed to deliver an exceptional guest experience. This past year, we promoted 16 Assistant Store Managers to Store Leader positions which is a testament to our passionate and talented teams. We hope that during your time with the Company you were made aware of the many incentive and benefits programs including competitive pay, bonus potential for all associates, paid time off and volunteerism hours, "Give Back"trips" for associates to travel abroad, and both external and internal education programs to grow our associates. We also are excited to announce the recent launch of a Student Debt repayment program, aimed at reducing our associates' student loans, reduction of medical premium costs and paid 1 month Sabbatical programs to refresh and reward hard working . Thank you for allowing us to share these enhancements to the associate experience and we wish you much success in the future!

Terrible quality of clothing and jewelry with ridiculously high prices. Management was very gossipy. Barely got scheduled but they asked me to have open availability.
