Pros

For the most part the leaders in the company are fantastic. The director of stores, Mary Beth, is by far the nicest person I have ever met. She could walk in and tell you that your store was a wreck but she has such a great attitude that she wouldn't ever make you feel like you were incompetent. Absolute pleasure to be around her. Aaron the CEO seems nice enough the times I've met him ,but as one would expect people walk on egg shells around him and he has a spotty reputation with some; however, saying he sits next to the devil like one reviewer stated is wildy critical. The company really lets you know the inner workings of your business and are a no holds bar when it comes to sharing profit and loss. They do offer a bonus program, 401k, insurance, PTO, etc. These are newer benefits as the company is growing. There is wonderful growth potential.

Cons

There is a huge lack of consistency in the company. This is to be expected since its evolving but they really need to work on some large components that are necessary for running stores. An example would be shipments: You don't know how many boxes you are getting until just a few days before. Sometimes we never knew and that caused chaos.Floor set directives are sent days before the set and way after a schedule is made. Communication is lacking in a lot of areas. Expectations are extremely high with visuals and store experience but the payroll hours were not supportive of these demands. For the workload and expectations, the pay is not where it should be. This causes the company to burn through a lot of great people.
