Pros

Being able to try new products Most of the customers are amazing

Cons

Pay is very low; you need to clock in/out at the EXACT time that is on your schedule, otherwise you will be reprimanded for it. Lots of micromanaging, a ton of complaining toward new employees, it’s a very high school-like environment overall. Also expect to get a very small amount of hours per week.

Pros

The customers were the only bright spot — working with licensed professionals and helping them find what they need was genuinely rewarding. • Discounts and product education opportunities were a nice bonus. • Other store managers were kind and helpful — it’s just a shame they were just as overworked.

Cons

There is zero training for new managers — you’re expected to figure it all out on your own while meeting impossible expectations. • If you ask questions, voice concerns, or challenge unfair practices, you’re quickly labeled as “difficult” and pushed aside. • The company plays blatant favorites — if you’re not one of the brown-nosers or corporate darlings, you’ll be alienated, ignored, or quietly edged out. • Constant budget cuts make running the store feel impossible. Many managers use their own money just to keep things functioning. • No work/life balance. You’re expected to sacrifice your mental health and personal time just to keep your head above water. • Corporate communication is poor, and decisions are made without input from the people actually running the stores.
