Pros

The associate discount is great. Working with people that share my same interest is also fun.

Cons

The managers are very unintelligent. Many of my co-workers are students like me and have much more intelligence than all of our managers. They also do not like to listen to ideas and hate to admit when they are wrong. Typical boss type people. Also, our store does not stock many things that the customers come in for and it is tough to tell everyone that you don't carry their product.

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.
