Pros

Office design is impeccable and the brands the company works with are high quality and stylish. The creativity begins and ends there.

Cons

Honestly, Trunk Club is stale. It's being worked to death and any opportunity for creativity and fresh perspective from it's employees is gone. It's a machine operating by over-worked and under-paid employees who for better or worse just increase the energy bill month over month for keeping the lights on. No room for improvement, no voices to be heard, no way to really make an impact at the company. In it's uber-like ideal to grow the business to $1B it's lost sight of what's really important and valuable. The people.

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.
