Pros

The 40-50% discount was great!! The people I worked with were all great people too!

Cons

This company is such a disappointment. It claims to be a christian business, but everything they do seems to contradict that. The CEO is absolutely terrible!! I do believe that he could be a good person, he just never showed it. He has no idea how to treat people which is such a shame. All he does is work everyone to death, bring everyone down (by even making many of the employees break into tears at times),and set unrealistic goals/expectations. For someone running a Christian company, I don't think this is an appropriate way to act. Employees shouldn't be scared of losing their jobs!! He just doesn't really seem to care much about anyone or their feelings. The company also is said to be "closed on Sundays for rest"……yeah no, employees are still working floor sets all day long!! They pay is absolutely terrible also. After 2 years everyone I worked with, including me ended up leaving! This company could have so much going for them, but instead of fixing the issues that need the attention, they are too worried about growth. It's really just sad.

Pros

Everyone that isn’t a leader is nice in my opinion

Cons

They wanted us to be more peppy and cheerful, but when I did it the manager would ask me why am I being loud. But when I was quiet they would assume something is wrong with me and talk behind my back about how they think I don’t want to be there. I just have to ask why is it considered loud when I follow the standards.. these were managers talking about this (store manager & district manager). You would think if there was an actual issue with my customer service performance a customer would complain about me or the manager would politely ask me if I’m doing okay instead of talking behind my back and making assumptions. It makes me wonder why was I singled out amongst the entire team? It came off as micro aggressive and offensive as a poc.
