Pros

The clothing allowance is nice considering the clothes are expensive.

Cons

Johnny Was takes advantage of unexpected new hires by their misleading job title and duties. They interview applicants for sales associate positions when the position is actually a key holder position. They do not want to give employees the correct title for the position so they can avoid paying the correct wages and health benefits for a key holder position. Employees need the correct title for the position they hold to place on their resumes to further their careers. They do not tell you that you will be responsible for managerial duties, opening, and closing the business until you are hired. This is unethical. They take advantage of you by explaining it’s a “team” atmosphere. If it’s a team atmosphere be honest about the position title and pay accordingly.

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
