Pros

I liked how you had the freedom of doing your own visuals .Because I had this job on my resume I felt like it was easier to get a job else where because the store always looked beautiful and other managers from different companies saw it.

Cons

This company has a major turn over . I was with the company for over a year and had two store manager and four ASM leave. We all left for the same reason which was over worked and under payed . We consistently had to come in and work on our off days to get things done . We were always getting sick and having to use our sick days bc we were just exhausted and needed Sleep . One time my manager called me to come in on my off day and I said no because Ihad already worked my 45 hrs and I had plans to be with my family . She got so mad at me and told me work needs to be my priory even if I was already at my 45. Another example of how i was over worked is when it was time for me to leave work. I worked a 7a-6 p shift and the DM was visiting the store And she saw me leave and asked for me to stay longer to finish processing shipment . I said I'm sorry but I just worked a 10 HR shift and it was my time leave . She looked at me crazy and rolled her eyes . The one thing i learned here was to how to was to say NO .

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.
