Pros

Super Laid Back atmosphere, nice perks, great co-workers, management and training. Felt like the company cares about its employees. Beautiful stores, not the kind of retail where you have to pressure people to buy the products, they mainly trained us to let people be and offer help when actually needed. Some vacation time allowed, but not a lot.

Cons

Like any retail job, the schedule changes a lot, you seldom have consistent days off (which is both a pro and a con). Sales associates are paid hourly and have commission. I'm not super into sales, and therefore didn't try to hard to sell a lot, merely because it made me uncomfortable, but for those who are into it and like it - it's awesome! Very few cons actually.

Pros

Many different categories and opportunities to learn Decent PTO 15 days after 1 year Summer Fridays (at will of leadership) I would recommend coming to this company at a senior level. I would not recommend working here longer then 2 or 3 years as an assistant or even an associate. The expectations are lower for new hires, especially at more senior levels, take advantage of it if you can.

Cons

Little to no job growth Barely any wage increase per year or through promotion Poor leadership Extremely Disorganized Toxic work place and management culture Poor work life balance with many teams expected to overtime with no extra pay
