Pros

High paying for a store position Depending on your store there are some amazing people on the teams Great discount

Cons

-Toxic leadership(district level) -Awful communication -Lack of care from corporate -My DL would talk about growth and set a finish line and constantly move it -Rarely got breaks and my time was constantly changed so I had 0 work life balance -When I left my off boarding process was mishandled I was approved time off and once I had worked my last scheduled in-store shift the time was removed after being approved prior -I am not Christian and my religion was disregarded I was denied days off for religious purposes and on other occasions I felt exploited and made to feel shameful for being anything other then what the company stood for

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.
