Very little accountability! LOW PAY!

Floor staff

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits and some co-workers are the main reasons I’m still here. Having a stocked breakroom is nice when you’re starving.

Cons

Where to start... - RATS are common in this store (Presidio). Not uncommon to see their feces or smell the urine in certain zones. - PAY IS LOW, LOW, LOW. I understand it’s retail but cost of living in SF is expensive and there are many co-workers who work two jobs to make ends meet (myself included). - Certain employees are consistently late and/or call out often and STILL EMPLOYED. Multiple chances given for employees to play the system! - Favortism is blatant where I work. Employees who ARE NOT qualified to be in leadership roles are promoted out of the blue while those who are qualified are passed over.

Pros

- Fun people - Fun environment

Cons

- No room for growth, they say there is but you have to go literally ABOVE and beyond for maybe a 50 cent raise. - Many promises that don't get fulfilled.
