Pros

1.Corporate and the owners LISTEN to you! They change things based on what your opinion is. 2.Growth is not just an option, it's almost a requirement as everyone pushes you to be better! 3.Give back company. AS gives 10% on Monday's to a local charity that YOU get to choose and 1% to other countries in need. What kind of company tries to make the World a better place? 4.It's family owned. This means WE are the family. When you have an executive visit, it's all hugs not hand shakes. If you are going through something hard at home, prayer is everywhere for you! All the way up to the owners. Everyone lifts you up! 5.You are encouraged to be better not through discipline but through influence. We are taught a different way to lead. Coaching. Everyone coaches behavior not write ups. Encouraging others not breaking them down. 6.We are a safe place to love Jesus. We praise God and lift up our guests when they need it, lift up our teams through prayer daily and lift up one another always. 7.We all have the same goal, to serve others and bring glory to God. This company is the real deal! I've work for speciality retail, big bix retail and I've ran my own business. I speak from experience when I say that I've never felt more love, encouragement and desire to grow with any other company. Nothing makes the person above you happier than to see you grow to the next level! I should know, I've been promoted in my first year and I'm very close to my next promotion this year! I think it's amazing and rare that a company like this exists. If you have the opportunity to work with us, TAKE IT! You won't regret it...Life changing.

Cons

We are only 5 years old. We have 50+ stores. With this growth, it's hard to not make mistakes. We understand this and are trying to make it better. There is no con that can outweigh the pros.

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.
