Pros

The pay is good, but not worth it anymore.

Cons

They’ve just started enforcing a VERY misogynistic dress code for employees. We can’t wear FASHION sneakers with anything but a dress or skirt. But get this, the dress or skirt has to come past finger-tip length. So if you’re tall or have long limbs, good luck finding an outfit to wear to work! Oh also if you have more than 2 piercings/ear you have to take those out. More than one nose piercing? Nope, only one nose STUD allowed. You also cannot come to work with wet hair, it must be dry. They say “people first” and “stand out for good” and then make us conform to a strict dress code and don’t listen to the people that are actually interacting with their customers. Oh also the CEO has made multiple comments that are less than tasteful towards women- the people that ACTUALLY run this company.

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.
