Pros

Good discount, great customers, helped plan some cool in store events. I met a lot of incredible heroes. Upper management was great, supportive and helpful. They would randomly drop in and see how everything was going. I appreciated Nathan and Tyler and how much they cared for their employees.

Cons

Store management is typically quite sexist. One day they’re telling you to go up in pant size so that you’re not showing too much, the next they’re telling you that you need to make sure that your hair and makeup are perfect every day. It’s definitely a man’s world.

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.
