Pros

management at my store does treat me with respect. store is close to my house. most of my fellow associates are a pleasure to work with.

Cons

absolutely no chance for promotion. all management is hired from without. the position and salary you hired on at will be where they will keep you as long as you work here. pay raises are insulting in their stinginess. store management gets 5 figure bonuses while you are supposed to happy with a nickle raise.

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.
