Pros

Discount is nice, most associates are enjoyable to work with and are willing to learn/teach. Hours of store are good for working parents.

Cons

Management is hideous! Very condescending! There is no such thing as confidentiality. Too much power is given to friends/chums/buddies and re-poor is not good. Management needs to clean house. This is coming from someone that is NOT on the chopping block and is a very fair evaluation~

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.
