      Obnoxious, insensitive, childish, inappropriate

      Assistant manager

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The shoes, when they don't fall apart on you- which they will. Some just quicker than others.

      Cons

      hiring incompetent employees, horrendous upper management from store to district level, wayyy over priced items for lack of quality, too many tasks- not enough hours, no raises- EVER, managers- don't even think about a vacation in your first year, NO saturdays off unless you take a vacation day for it, be prepared to be harassed by everyone in he company. This is the MOST UNPROFESSIONAL COMPANY ON THE PLANET.

      Deeply Unhealthy Power Dynamics

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      * The people doing the actual work are talented, resilient, and genuinely creative. * You will learn how to survive chaos and still produce high level work under pressure.

      Cons

      * Upper management operates through fear, favoritism, and ego rather than strategy. * Decisions are personal, not professional and loyalty is valued far more than competence. * Layoffs are handled with zero dignity, followed by attempts to control the narrative and people’s relationships long after employees leave. * Leadership is so insecure that they try to meddle in who current employees can associate with, discouraging professional connections with former staff. It’s petty, retaliatory, and an abuse of power. * HR functions primarily as damage control for executives, not as support or protection for staff.

      Pros

      The benefits are really good, especially the health insurance

      Cons
