Pros

Great discount, beautiful product, faith based

Cons

I’ve been the Visual ASM for over a year. There is no training for this job. You might get bits and pieces but don’t expect any time spent with you to grow you. The company is only 10 years old- they have a lot of growing to still do. Upper management and home office are unorganized. For example, we just got Loss Prevention 2 months ago. This company has unrealistic expectations for everything: payroll, sales plan, and floorset. The salary is some of the lowest in the industry and the workload far exceeds what you’re paid. You have 2 DIstrict Mananagers.. My experience is that mine do not communicate well with eahother and do not have the same vision so it makes being productive and successful difficult due to one dm saying one thing and the other changing it. District Managers are not encouraging even if you have done what they have asked they say it has opportunity. Bonuses are paid quarterly if you make sales plan and aren’t even half of one weeks pay. During your interview your STore manager and DIstrict manager will say that the reviews on here are not accurate and that the company has taken a new path and working out kinks but it is not true. Stay away.

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.
