      Pros

      Pay was good but not after pay cuts put in place is almost at federal minimum wage.

      Cons

      The management has super high expectations for everyone below them while my store manager never made sales and was always in the office on the computer. Payroll was always lower than what was needed. Our store was always getting high scores on audits and secret shops and our manager took it as credit when she was brand new and not apart of it. They led you on to work your overtime off for no reward. Trying to move up required 4 interviews with different leadership and had no communication as to when I would hear back. All the while they hired someone else without letting me know they filled the position. They pressure you to buy the clothing and you cannot even where it to work with the new dress code.

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We did implement adjustments in pay as opposed to eliminating positions due to challenges in the current economy. To clarify, the adjustments in pay are significantly higher than the Federal Minimum Wage of $7.25 per hour. We do have high expectations regarding the guest experience and we encourage our team to always keep the guest as our first priority. We're sorry you didn't feel the positive results were celebrated with the entire team, we will share this information with our leaders to ensure that we celebrate successes in an impactful way in the future. The lack of communication regarding your interview process is unfortunate and not a common practice. We will address this with our team and we will discuss the importance of meaningful conversations and follow up during the interview process for future candidates.

      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.
