Pros

Growing company. Well organized and good training. The company has a lot going for them but they tend to turn a blind eye to SM's that aren't the best. Basically if your store is making money they don't care about anything that happens behind the curtains. Decent discount and products. Really enjoyed working for the company but ultimately left due to my SM.

Cons

Not much room for advancement unless you want to move to another city or state or someone leaves a store. Employee retention is not the best due to poor upper management. Products tend to be the same every year, just different colors.

Pros

Good work-life balance and benefits.

Cons

What was once a pro for culture has now become a con. Uncertainty due to massive layoffs. Remote work has been largely eliminated, and thus flexibility has decreased signficantly. Offshore and AI initiatives to reduce local US workforce. Although collaboration is encouraged, departments are siloed and operate independently which causes significant inefficiencies costing the company millions of dollars. Diversity is also lacking in a number of departments. Over reliance on external consultants instead of leveraging internal expertise.
