Pros

Sample sales for employees. So many of my coworkers were very nice.

Cons

Poor leadership, communication. Lack of transparency. The most political work environment I've been a part of. You're either "chosen" or you're not. Every day is a different focus. The company needs new leadership and they need to ensure leaders have integrity and strong morals and know how to lead a team and know how to run a business. Workload is too much - always working at night, on weekends and constantly on email 24/7. Not a healthy environment. Executive leadership only focuses on cashing out big. Low labor model does not work, especially in stores. No labor in the stores is only setting the stores up for failure. And having no customer service in today's retail environment is not competitive. The term "culture" is always mentioned, yet they don't walk the walk or talk the talk. I can honestly say I don't know any co-worker that was happy in their role.

Pros

Great Customers and coworkers. The products we affordable and great quality and I loved doing the visual Merchandising changes for the wall decor and home organizations. We really had a great team we provided great customer service and the local real estate loved coming in for assistance

Cons

The miscommunication between the upper management and the store level management wavered. We went over 8 months without a Store Director. High labor demands and lack of support led to a high turnover rate and a toxic work environment. Pay isn't commensurate with responsibilities.
