First and foremost, thank you for nearly 10 years at OSJL. We truly value those who have helped support the company's continued growth. Sounds like you have concerns about work life balance. We do believe in work life balance and our 45 hour work week for leaders is a five hour reduction from years past. Additionally we have provided leaders with a bonus three day weekends throughout the year and on top of a PTO structure allows for unused portions to be carried over each year. Sorry you have left us but we do wish you well for your future career opportunities.

Pros

You don't experience many of the retail horror stories you would at larger chains. Management was reasonably flexible with scheduling and always took our side during customer disputes. 30% discount nice bonus too (40% on some days)

Cons

None that I can think of

Pros

it is a decent overall gap job, you will be doing every role in the store and if it is dead you will be expected to multitask up front.

Cons

some of the management could be harsh on employees
