Pros

This company does a great job at giving back to local communities. The atmosphere was awesome to work in beautiful stores and loved the music that we listened too as well. Loved the company more when I first started it felt more like a family more so than a business.

Cons

DM was horrible couldn't work under her. No work/life balance at all. Would work 50+ hours a week which is understandable in holiday time but not during down time. They need to plan a lot better yes retail is an every changing business but with the detail in theses stores you have to be more mindful of the work you're asking us to do. I believe this company has lost some great managers because of there ego and the fact they don't pay well and they can't figure out how this whole work/life balance works. I left the company and I'm making almost $15,000 more to do the same job.

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.
