Pros

Pros?! Other than faking that this company cares about their retail staff - NONE.

Cons

Working for this company is mind baffaling. There’s absolutely nothing intrinsically motivating from this company! Lets start off with the breaks: 15 minutes only after standing on your feet for hours while two staffed and waiting for the third staff to clock in hours later, and if you’re working 8 hrs only a 30 minute break- while trying to multitask unrealistic expectations. Understaffed and no hours for the store to have three or four staffed at the same time for floor coverage. No bonus for the assistant managers and key holders or for their sales staff who constantly makes their company profitable. And they sent a memo to the mgrs to pull any employee on break off their break to attend to guests??? Are you serious? That’s illegal. Zero employee appreciation and 100% employee abuse. Companies tend to forget they don’t have a business without their retail staff who have to fake their happiness infront of customers day in and day out. The pay is trash after always bringing in the daily goals. They want you to be running around doing all the tasks while attending a full store with one other team member and blame you for everything! Seriously, no one can’t work in this type of toxic environment. Stop taking advantage of your retail staff! And when they have those in store events that are just costing the store team member money because corporate doesn’t allocate funds for those bottle waters, beverages, candies or snacks for the guests. FYI those events are out dated and lack of innovation to bring in new foot traffic and stop making store team members pay for those food items to give for free for the guest, it’s a tax write off for you so please refund the teams for these expenses!!!

Pros

Fun at times with conversations amongst employees

Cons

The pettiness The bad mouthing of current employees or past employees, if the manager was talking about them I am sure she was talking about me Manager gave out her phone number to all employees to contact by text or calls, when I had to text her , her reply back was condescending and not to pleasant. I got an apology the next day. She knew she was wrong She got a bad review because she did not present herself in a positve way when helping a customer, she talked about the previous management I had an upcoming date that I needed off and she knew but she scheduled me for that day anyway I was told there was a review about me apologizing to much? That was a lie, I looked at all the reviews none about me but she had a negative one about her I only apologized to my customers if we did not have a product or we did not fit their expectations Yes I did apologize to some employees, I was in training and learning. Im sure it was the fellow coworkers that complained I do have problems with my right foot and at the moment my nice pair of nikes was providing more comfort to my feet, and was told I needed a drs note? But another employee who his younger was wearing very dirty tennis shoes, not a good look if they a noticably dirty Not good training, barely had any
