Pros

Everyone is young so you will definitely have some good friends to go out with for happy hour and the health benefits are really solid (as long as your not married or your spouse has their own health plan), they do a lot of on-the-job training so you don't have to have a ton of experience, tuesdays we get free breakfast and thursdays we get free lunch, there's always free coffee and snacks

Cons

The performance based earnings system is compromised of a certain productivity and quality of work target that can be hard to balance and if you under earn, you could be losing out on a lot of money. The base salary pay should be higher so you can only out-earn.

Pros

Good benefits and diversity initiative at the time.

Cons

The company lied about what the job was. A "community building local representative" for their brick and mortar stores ended up just being a cold calling job and taking incoming calls for other stores. No room to move up. The management was the worst I ever worked for. Weird rules where they signed the lease, including someone having to stay in the store in inclement dangerous weather. Most of the "old school" employees I came into contact with drank the Kool Aid in a weird way that left no room for criticism. I left in 2022 and have been watching the rating here fall for all the years since. Could have been a great company but I wouldn't ever give them my energy now, as an employee or customer.
