Pros

The work environment was great and the people were so friendly. I liked all of my managers and they were very good in training me. I did have retail experience already when working there though.

Cons

As a sales associate, you really don't get more than ten hours a week. The only people that get full time hours are the managers and personal shoppers. This is nice if you are working there while you are going to school, or as a second job to supplement income, but it was my job for the summer, and I was always begging people to send unwanted hours my way.

Pros

Good time-off package. Holiday week off for office employees. Historically respected work-life balance and flexible working. Good employee discount and maternity leave.

Cons

C-suite pushing a mandatory 3 days in-office after 5+ years of boasting flexibility as a cornerstone of their employee benefits package. Lack of clear and thoughtful communication of this new policy was frustrating and disheartening as an employee. Leadership, starting with the CEO, is at an all-time low of the last 6 years of working in their corporate office. Horrifying to see how poorly initiatives are getting rolled out, likely getting pushed down from board of directors. Would anticipate a rough transition into the company if you choose to take a role replacing the dozens of employees possibly being forced to leave the company due to RTO.
