Pros

Great benefits, 401k, health insurance, dental and vision, employee discount 35%, paid vacation and bonus program. Company is growing, opportunity to move anywhere (except west coast).

Cons

55-65+ hour work weeks, lack of consistency at store level, no follow-through from higher up managers, unable to competitively pay hourly staff while upper executive make over six figures. Disorganized home office, continuing to put out information to stores with mistakes, lack of man power at home office to make corrections in a timely manner or to give the tools needed to accurately be able to report accurate numbers.

Pros

This job is great overall and I really attribute a lot of the positive atmosphere to the retail manger! Lazondra is the best! She is incredibly kind, encouraging, and understanding! You’ll feel very welcome starting here! She wants the best for the store, but also the best for you as a person! She’s also definitely not afraid to get out there and help out the team! Love her!

Cons

Sometimes it’s a little slow work wise, not that the restaurant itself is slow, but you can only refold the same shirt and check on the same shoppers so many times.
