Pros
I have worked for several corporate retailers, and this company is by far the best. There is really good communication between all levels of management and HQ. The field teams contribute a lot to what happens at HQ which is rare. The company values open and honest 2 way communication. There are a lot of opportunities for growth since the company is consistently opening up new locations at both brands. The majority of District Managers are internal promotes, so they know the reality of managing a store. Higher level management is relatable and understanding. The company will develop you if you are willing to put in the work. The company also values a work life balance and shared responsibilities between all members of the team. There is a reason that so many employees have been with the company for so long.
Cons
Very high selling, visual & operational standards for the amount of payroll each store can use. Mgrs work on single coverage frequently. Pay rates aren't great for part timers. Sales associates work 1-2 short shifts per week. (To be fair, its not like stores are driving a ton of volume to do otherwise) Lots of frustrating tech issues that impact day to day operations.
