Pros

good employee discount on items and equipment in the store. pretty good selection of various brands when it comes to clothes and shoes

Cons

You can only make one mistake when you are on cash register, they will give you a warning and you can't make another for 6 months. The 2nd mistake leads to direct termination, no ifs ands or buts about it. Not enough training for new employees. They will throw you directly to the wolves on your 2nd day.

Pros

- Unlimited PTO with 401k match is awesome

Cons

- Performance expectations were often unclear or inconsistently communicated, Feedback was reactive instead of timely and actionable. - Leadership quality varied dramatically by manager, with limited coaching or mentorship. - Constant shifting priorities without adjusting expectations or workload. - Psychological safety was lacking, Honest communication feel risky. - Leadership messaging around culture didn't match day-to-day reality. - Process was often valued more than impact or results. - Compensation well below market, w/little flexibility during negotiations. - I felt excluded from key conversations and opportunities that were important to my success.
