Worst mistake of my life.

Pros

None. Absolutely none. I was sold the dream when applying and now I'm quickly realizing I've made a huge mistake. At this rate I will never be able to see my family.

Cons

Worst company I've ever worked for. Corporate is beyond rude, never show up to visits and have ridiculous expectations. The way we are treated at store level is shady, manipulative and repulsive. Corporate should be ashamed. If you are in a certain district your life is just AWFUL due to the rude DMS that don't even match the brand.... Also just because the store are visually appealing and you build schools in underprivliaged countries doesn't give you the right to treat us like the dirt you walk on... get it together.

Pros

There used to be several and no they are next to none.

Cons

I've been with this company for quite some time now. Most people leave within a year or so, so I consider myself a veteran here. When I first started times for the company where good. Growing like crazy, making money, etc. You really felt at home amongst everyone in the company including owners. They would send flowers to stores , send out inspirational emails, I mean you just felt the good. Now with sales decreasing, the revolving door of employees swinging harder and expectations becoming increasingly un realistic , that onceven good feeling is gone. We are given more tasks than possible to do but told to focus on guest. However we get told how the tasks need to be done... how ? Payroll hours have been cut drastically to the point where salary managers literally work with no break because we can't have anyone come in. Then we get scolded for no break. Truth be told we salary managers make no were near other retailers in compensation. Then if you need insurance be prepared to pay out big money from your small check. I used to love this company but now I just am baffled as to what we're doing . It's like they completely forgot who theyes said they wanted to be. They purchased an expensive training program that we all dislike now because of instead of being fun it's forced on us daily. Even my leaders don't use the training... "so what your telling me is the training is irrelevant and we have lost our way. "

Pros

I was able to really connect with my personal clients and help them find great outfits! My coworkers were ok didn't have a lot of drama.

Cons

Where do I even begin? I honestly can say this is the worst job I have ever had. They DO NOT CARE about the EMPLOYEES!! They will over work you until you want to quit. They will use the love you have for selling, visuals and customer service against you! Everything they tell you to do is for "her" and "her experience" but they neglect "us" and "our team" in the stores.
