Pros

Nothing I can say about this company would be a positive

Cons

I have worked for several major retailers throughout my career and this is the first job/company I have felt the need to write a review for or express to others to stay away from this place! I have seen multiple companies have bad reviews but just be a normal retail place to work, but trust me I’m with everyone on this one. Trust the reviews for this company!! This by far has been the most unprofessional workplace I have ever been in. There is zero training and no one in higher up positions are on the same page about anything. I had a store manager tell me to disregard anything I was told my upper management to only listen to her. My last month working here I was not treated as a human being. In fact I was disrespected by our store leader on multiple occasions. On day 2 of meeting her she threatened my job before she even got to know me at all, told me that she could not help me when I didn’t get paid out my pto, threw away my personal belongings without even asking, and continuously texted me about work in the middle of the night when I had to be at work at 4 am the next day, texted me on my pto multiple times and even texted me about work on my actual wedding day. And this is just a sample of the things that happened in the month that she was there. She pushed every leader out the door when she arrived. And it doesn’t just go up to store leadership but higher ups in the company. I even had a VP be disrespectful to me when I brought up a real concern that I was feeling. This company will not treat you with respect and kindness at all. I would highly recommend to stay away from working here.

Pros

GREAT discount, some cute clothes (most are very cheap quality), made several great friends, met my best friend here

Cons

Horrible work/life balance. They do not care at all about health in any aspects. Was told mental health is not an excuse. Manager made fun of a girl with a heart condition that had to miss work at her previous store. Openly accused people of fake drs notes. Upper management and corporate hired people to replace others before letting them know their job was up for grabs. They do not care about you at all. I LOVED this job when I first started. I was so sad to have to leave but ultimately this place ruined my mental wellbeing and I had no life outside of work. Management changes always suck, but this one ran everyone that already worked there out. So desperate for workers get treat them all like trash. Everyone talks crap about everyone, including corporate and vp's when they visit. Very unprofessional environment. Hostile work environment. You will be talked to/yelled at constantly. You are not treated as equals or with respect. I would not recommend working at this store to anyone. This company is crazy. Just avoid.
