Pros

Decent employee discounts. Good first job because anything that comes after won't seem as bad.

Cons

Terrible communication between managers. Terrible management in general: condescending and inconsiderate. Refused to step in when a manipulative, older co-worker clearly mistreated me. Unpaid on-call shifts force employees to clear schedule for several hours with no guarantee of being called into work.

Thank you for your recent post and we appreciate your honesty. We would welcome the opportunity to speak with you live about your experience so that we can support you. Your District Manager, Visual District Manager or Regional VP are also available to speak with you asap about your experience. Regarding On-Call shifts, as with many retailers and other businesses, there may be times when your store anticipates a possible peak in business and may need your support. On-call shifts are not paid as no work is performed. We are happy to discuss this further with you. Thanks for your post!

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.
