Pros

The company's mission and vision are very admirable. The "stand out for good" mindset is great and they do give back to charities.

Cons

The district managers and store leaders have created a toxic environment to work in. They like to gossip and act more like bosses than leaders. They do not take the time to help their employees grow and they prefer to hire outside the company than to promote from within. They will promise you all of the growth opportunities in the world, however, you most likely will not be promoted and they will never give you a raise. If you choose to work here, please know your worth as far as pay goes; they will try and work you for as little pay as possible.

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.
