Pros

Great incentives, benefits, product, training. The company has a friendly atmosphere. Home office is just a phone call away.

Cons

The company has changed drastically. We are now micromanaged as to how we are supposed to spend every minute of the day. This is a rigid environment and you are not allowed a lot of input or to be creative. If you step outside of the box, you are held accountable. The upper management believes in favoritism and holding each store manager to a different expectation. While it is okay for one store manager to do one thing, it is not okay for another store manager. The area leader tries to put the staff against the store manager and encourages a lot of side talk. She does not encourage face to face resolution which creates a toxic, hostile environment. It may be different for other area leaders, but I have encountered a terrible one. Don't be afraid to stick up for yourself and fight for what is right. I tried to do this, but I was forced out. It's a shame, because I love this company.

AMAZING team and encouraging, helpful supervisors. Helped me in every aspect of life, even outside work. Definitely made connections for life.

Cons

Retail hours: holidays, evenings, and weekends. Lower than average pay, and benefits are not the best.

Pros

Loved welcoming customers and helping them find their style

Cons

Worst job ever, racism at the most, only Hispanic that worked there and got sexually harassed by the manager every time she was there, she wouldn’t let me leave back room until I told her I was done with the job by also illegally firing me she also accused me of wearing no underwear in front of the whole store, my coworkers were nothing but jealous one of them would tell the manager if I came in wearing leggings so I would get in trouble bc for some odd reason everyone besides me was aloud to wear them, the manager also publicly humiliated me multiple times on my last day and laughed in my face once I was crying. also in the span of TWO MONTHS. I got ONE SHIFT that was 1 hour and 34 minutes. ps I have proof and corporate did nothing ab it, it even after I had stated that I had proof!
