Pros

-The Brands Equity (even with a few bumps in the road we have a pretty killer reputation) -The people -The perks (hello super fair pay and complimentary fitness) -The business philosophy (an org that truly values innovation and trying new things and listening to their people). -We are encouraged to only work 40 hours a week and they actually mean it! -Paying more at the sales associate (educator) level means we get to hire smarter/higher quality individuals resulting in development of people who actually stay! -If you work hard, you are given plenty of opportunities to grow and move up

Cons

-Some procedures need to be level set with the best ways of doing things in retail. Sometimes we try to do thing differently just for the sake of being different and it doesn't work out great. -no 401k plan -Business acumen/talent level (SM's, RM's & AD's) is kindve all over the place in leaders because it was formerly not a priority, culture was the only priority. It would be helpful to level set this. New CEO seems to be a great balance of business and culture, hopefully that trickles down. -no 401k plan

Pros

The benefits with the sweaty Pursuits is good and the insurance is good too! You get a team that you get to put together and get to know them and see what works for you guys to be successful in a processing shift!

Cons

The nights are long and very overworked. They ask a lot from you and usually they put the business before you. It’s always we need this and that from the managers but not actually taking time to help or to actually see that we are trying our best and if they actually worked a shift with us and saw the struggles they would understand more. They think it’s easy, when the weight of the store depends on us. You are also qualified as a Guest Experience lead since you have to do both trainings so the management do over utilise that and you will be doing two jobs. Even though it says in the description to support the floor but there’s a difference between supporting from time to time and doing it all the time where you are running the floor and the back at the same time but they’ll say “oh why isn’t this done?” Maybe because you’ve told me to help you out ? The are also very selective about who moves up to be a manager. No work life balance at all!
