Pros

Decent initial pay. Good people to work with.

Cons

Unrealistic expectations. New owners have a grand vision for the company in hopes of an IPO and selling it. Putting their own stamp on it and changing everything in the company to support the IPO. Unable to terminate employees to keep turnover low, no 401k, no performance increases, or raises at all. Total disorganization due to the change direction of the company. No one really knows what is going on at corporate. Current employees are just trying to survive the change.

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.
