Not only are benefits available to all employees but they create and environment for people to work on many different skills surrounding activism, community outreach, and various other philanthropic work. Surpasses any retail experience I have had in the past.

As it focuses on creating an inclusive environment it still has room to grow in shaping a work environment that benefits everyone.
