Pros

company provides trans positive healthcare at affordable prices dress code is petty casual so you can express yourself (except for unnaturally dyed hair >:(

Cons

pay is absolutely horrendous. i live paycheck to paycheck barely able to feed myself yet company boasted about providing to food-insecure peoples. all product is overpriced and low quality, i’m surprised the company made it through covid with how inessential its merchandise is. like any retail job the upper management could not care less about the happiness and actual well-being of its workers, as long as we meet sales goals. no sick time or PTO for part time managers working 40 hrs. assistant managers doing equal or more work than store manager yet there is $5+ pay difference and benefits. dress code is loose but huge effort to not look “too hot topic.” no unnaturally dyed hair, an outdated and unnecessary rule. pay roll being so low than many times managers are left working upwards to 6 hours by themselves, no breaks. sales associates getting paid minimum wage for maybe 10 hours a week. retention super low

Pros

can sometimes talk about pop culture stuff at work, more flexible scheduling than other jobs, lgbtq+ tolerant

Cons

very low pay, phony front of being a “philanthropist” brick and mortar store when they don’t even pay associates or any position below GM anywhere near the median hourly wage for most retailers, expensive merchandise that is hard to sell, continued pressure and operation changes from corporate without adequate, realistic support for the store team, out of touch upper management & corporate, unrealistic sales expectations for teams with absolutely no benefits other than not getting chastised in a district email, embarrassing bonuses for management that are not even worth the efforts taken to get it, associates & lower management receive hardly any working hours but expect an open availability. nearly everyone who isn’t a GM has to work two jobs to even afford driving there and clocking in. toxic work environment with egos abound.

Pros

-The team I worked with was fun, and we had a good store manager -merchandise discount

Cons

-Pay was awful. Keyholders were promoted in December to “assistant manager level 1” yet I still made less that $12/hr, Also me and the other asm1 were told BY THE DISTRICT MANAGER we would get a raise after our yearly appraisals, and then the company turned back and told us we were not getting raises. Loved it. -Oh also super hated how the dm would constantly talk down to the store manager all the time.
