Pros

Growing company creates good opportunites for advancement, beautiful new corporate office with amazing gym and cafeteria, passionate corporate employees who work hard to win, good college-recruiting and merchandise training program.

Cons

Male-dominated executive team uses too many lame sports analogies, leadership seems scared of Ed Stack, politics are worse than other retail offices, employees are often not given straightforward performance critiques when there are issues, promotions handed out unevenly, inventory management is poor.

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.
