Pros

Bicycle & Outdoor discounts Decent benefits Onsite café and fitness center

Cons

1. As a retail accountant, you will utilize a database which nobody fully understands on an accounting level. 2. For most, the workload is completely unreasonable. Working 50 hours/week is not enough to consistently produce quality work and hit deadlines. 3. Management steals ideas from their employees and takes credit with the higher ups. 4. Management does not value the strongest and most knowledgeable people on their team. 5. Turnover is high- this speaks for itself. 6. Unhappy and burnt out Retail Accountants are told they need to “be more positive” and “more approachable “ - and then are offered raises or promotions. 7. Management’s only true focus is revenue growth. They do not care (or fully understand the qualities of) accurate financials, customer service, and employee wellness.

Mostly good people, interesting work. Always something new. Challenging if that's what keeps you motivated. Likely a ship that will turn around soon.

Cons

Burnout. Unrealistic expectations. Below average compensation. Declining morale,

Pros

Great deals if you have money coming into this job to bike flip on the side, and get to meet some cool customers.

Cons

Management doesn't know what they are doing, from the corporate level to the store level. They preach about "Level 5 Leaders", but most of the people on their "Awesome Bus" aren't leaders themselves and it's super discouraging. Never being given a fair shake even though I applied to 3 different leadership positions, with myself having a decade of management experience under my belt. Feedback for why was "You gotta tell yourself you are awesome everyday", "We feel you are over-confident, and those people in our experience can't take feedback." All the smoke and mirrors is a 100% red flag. Communication is a huge one. Corporate says one thing, management says another. Perfect example is how they are flip flopping hours and responsibilities back and forth. "Defined roles"; my job description changes whenever my bosses feels like it, taking on higher amounts of responsibility without an increase in my paycheck, and a reduction of hours on top of that during slow season.
