Pros

There are only a few pros about this shop and that would be the girls that I had the opportunity to work with (associates) and the customers who came in. Other than that there wouldn't be any other pros. The associates are amazingly nice and easy to train/teach. The customers were as sweet as cherry pie and I loved being able to talk to them.

Cons

Honestly, everything else about this company would be a con. They work us (the management team) like dogs. I was a keyholder and got paid 9.00$ an hour, which may seem like a decent amount, but considering all the work the DM and the CEO wanted to get done, it was not enough. Many nights were spent until 2 or 3 in the morning doing refreshers (aka taking all the clothes off the wall and rearranging them). This company is unorganized and sends way more shipment than the store itself can handle. The CEO nitpicks over the littlest things and yells at the associates straight to their face, unrealistic sales goals for the associates and for the day. It just was a horrible and toxic environment and for all the girls who are looking for a great "christian company/and or atmosphere" do not work here. It will suck the life out of you and drive you to the hospital or just plan crazy.

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.
