Pros

The people came from all sorts a background and it made the work place lively and interesting. The employee discount is 40% which really helps cause the shoes are definitely not cheap.

Cons

some managers that got hired were extremely clueless on taking over the store. One of the ones I worked with didn't try to get to know her staff and just assigned them any position (sales or stock). Which is not efficient because people who do sales don't always do well in the stock room shifting, and vice versa. Before I left they changed the discount and added a limit to the amount of discount you received monthly. So you can use your 40% and save up till that amount they limited you for that month.

Pros

Work-life balance is genuinely good. Flexible and not a grind culture.

Cons

Middle management is the weak point. Several managers are promoted developers with no real management training or experience, they know the tech but not how to lead people. Project structure is disorganized and compensation lags behind market rate.
