Pros

Environment is great, discount is even better. Its super casual, pretty easy work. In store management is usually very good. Customer base is very understanding and rarely get irate customers.

Cons

Upper management sucks outside of the store. Almost no support from other departments that are meant to work together. Company seems to be run as a startup on the retail front even though we've existed for 15+ years. No room for making recommendations on how to improve products, no room for creativity. Warehouse wont send things to the stores that would sell and wont stock certain colors for no reason.

Pros

Compared to my prior employer, the workload is much reduced while the pay is a substantial increase. I feel that store and District leadership is a lot more willing to back you up compared to Prior employers I've had, and there is a good amount of freedom to be had. The company is also expanding so the opportunity for growth is also higher than with other Industries right now.

Cons

The company seems to be a bit schizophrenic at the moment when it comes to certain things and operations are suffering to a degree because of it.
