Pros

I love all the product and its always changing.You get the opportunity to help so many customers which is great if you are a people person. You get feedback daily as an associate.

Cons

Work is exhausting and managers can never succeed enough. If you do well in one area, you fail somewhere else. You have to make a conversion and credit goal. Associates are paid minimum wage and dont want to do the work, as a supervisor you have to motivate them, but you cant do anything about insubordinance because "they only make minimum wage". Managers hold grudges at the slightest notion.

Pros

Have met some amazing coworkers. Brand itself is fun.

Cons

Sudden Return to Work mandate 3 days in NY or OH SIX years after COVID. Any current employees outside of those states are being let go if they don’t uproot their lives and relocate. Many employees in those states built their lives around what seemed to be a permanent remote flexibility arrangement (most companies went back in 23). When Hillary Super came on she even stated in one of her first Q&A’s on remote work that where people do their jobs wasn’t a big concern for her as long as we continued to drive the business forward. The business is doing the best it ever has in the last five years. Leadership reasoning for mandate is continuing to fall flat. Mandate came absolutely out of NOWHERE.
