Pros

Benefits and discount no other pro, work here and have no life!

Cons

Poor training, horrible dsms who don't offer support, in 7 years with the company I had 3 RVPs, 6 DSMs and 4 district lp supervisors!! He does upper management not see this! The corporate team in Pittsburgh is so disconnected with the reality of what we dealt with at the store level. Sad really, leaving it wide open for competition!

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.
