Pros

Gained a lot of experience... Working there is like a "low paying internship". At the time, I was really impressed with the growth and potential of the company. As time went by, not so much. They have very smart individuals with a lot of talent and experience. The sky is the limit.

Cons

A classic case of saying one thing and doing another. Biblically, when you are outspoken about being a Christian (or representing that company's "Christian" values), you really have to set a better example that would have you be more accountable to Christ. I saw the mistreatment of many individuals. I also recall meetings where the top brass would humiliate individuals during certain rants in the corporate office. Reading the current reviews online, it looks like things haven't changed. They are obviously all about the money (not that theres anything wrong with that). The goal was always to get to 50 stores as quickly as they could, so management could sell their stake in an established national brand.

Pros

Literally nothing, can’t think of one positive thing

Cons

I’ve been with the company for years and watching its continuous downfall has become almost comical. Two years ago we took major pay cuts (like 15%) because of the economy but this year they sent us to the Virgin Islands on this over the top meeting that must have cost a fortune. I’d rather have the money in my bank versus a trip I was forced to go on with senior leadership that are absolute horrific people in general and evil businesses people. It all felt like a big propaganda event with tons of videoing and picture taking so they could come home and post all over linked in and social media about how WONDERFUL it is to work there. Don’t even get me started on the new Little House on the Prairie denim dresses we have to wear because they hire managers that aren’t even strong enough to coach to a dress code. How can you run a store if you can’t even tell someone what they’re wearing inappropriate? Instead now we look like a bunch of little followers of the cult everyone already says it is. As long as we say we “stand out for good” at every opportunity it must mean it’s true right? To know who else brainwashed people into thinking bad things are good for them? CULT LEADERS.
