Pros

Management rewards hard workers, and appreciates them. Raises are based on performance, so work hard and get more money.

Cons

The only way to move up in the company is to become a keyholder and go from there, which even still, you are stuck in a keyholder position for years before being able to make any growth in the company, Corporate is always coming up with something crazy for employees. Corporate has unrealistic expectations of how the stores are to be run because none of them have ever worked in a store.

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.
