Pros

Great connection between the teams and departments Benefits are fine (salary,..)

Cons

Unclear strategy and constantly changing. The management doesn't know how to motivate their employees including a top down management that makes it a difficult place to work. The Employee Anual Review is about your management telling you what you have to improve and the employee feedback or experience will not be taken into account by the company. The training activities teach you that your higher goal in the company, the reason you wake up every mornig is... To make profit. No vision at all. People get fired in harsh conditions.

Pros

Strong level of autonomy as a Store Manager to drive the business, implement strategies, and influence sales performance Opportunity to develop leadership skills through team coaching, training, and performance management Emphasis on client experience and building meaningful in-store customer relationships Creative freedom to execute sales-driving initiatives and local events Hands-on ownership of business results, which can be very rewarding for self-motivated leaders

Cons

Limited support from regional and district leadership, particularly in satellite locations, which can feel isolating High turnover due to relatively low pay for Crystal Experts and Assistant Managers Budget constraints make it difficult to recruit and retain experienced, high-performing talent Teams may require significant development due to lower wage tiers, increasing workload and pressure on management Store conditions in some locations feel outdated, with limited investment in remodels or upgrades Compensation structure for hourly roles does not always align with expectations or workload
