Pros

Brand has lots of potential.

Cons

Senior leadership fosters an extremely abusive and toxic workplace. You will be frequently cursed at in large townhall meetings and told you are not working hard enough because you are a spoiled corporate employee. Working less than 50 hours a week is frowned upon (and the typical is closer to 60) and if you are seen leaving before 6PM, you will be called out by the executive team as a slacker. When any concerns are raised by a brave soul willing to risk a tongue lashing, you are gaslighted into calling this "leadership development" or "coaching". Or you will be fired for pushing back. You will also be unnecessarily subject to the CEO's political and social rantings on mandatory company calls. Bottom line: there is no respect for the individual and do not expect any career growth other than learning how to handle a toxic workplace.

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.
