Pros

You get to wear whatever you want everyday (for the most part). Most employees at Trunk Club are young, driven, and very hard-working. Very easy to make some of your best friends at the company. Can get drinks with clients and co-workers after 5pm at the bar.

Cons

The job itself and upper management are way too demanding for what you are paid. They boast about having no "formal vacation policy"and act like you can take off any time you want but that's not true. If you are gone even for just a day, expect to get micro-managing texts and emails from your manager/director. They expect you to respond to everything, even if it's a weekend or holiday. The actual hours you are told to be in the office are from 9am-6pm but if you leave at 6:02 they are down your throat that you are not working enough. It easily turns into having no work-life balance. The sales goals are absurd and management helps who they choose. If you're not on their good side, good luck. The atmosphere at work has become increasingly stressful.

Pros

Decent base pay, somewhat autonomous, great tip potential.

Cons

The company has changed for the worse since COVID. When I came back the mood of the entire store had shifted. Gone were the days of comradery, customer focus, and taking pride in a job well done. In its place there is a new culture of cutthroat sales, a severe decline in customer focus, and worst of all a new focus on profit over customer satisfaction. When I was told that the amount the store charged for a shoe shine was not enough to do the best job I could for a customer I knew things had gone downhill for the company. Not to mention I watch a manager prey on a mentally disabled person in order to secure a sale, when the person could not understand what was being offered. Sad that such a once great company is now just another greed ridden corporation.
