Pros

-Focus on inspiring & leading -Workshops on new products/topics once a month -Continuous training -Great corporate mission and consistent execution throughout all of the stores -The company spends a lot of money on marketing & training materials

Cons

-If you are excelling in the role you were hired to fulfill you will be seen as "valuable" and will be overworked. You will be given illusionary opportunities to move up. No matter how hard you work they will keep you in the same position because it makes the management look better & they don't want to take the time to develop new associates. -The management only cares about themselves and will stifle your desire to grow within the company -The attitudes of the management teams are very negative. The store manager was always too stressed and irrationally taking it out on the subordinates. -Horrible pay for all the hard work that is required at the store level.

Pros

Have met some amazing coworkers. Brand itself is fun.

Cons

Sudden Return to Work mandate 3 days in NY or OH SIX years after COVID. Any current employees outside of those states are being let go if they don’t uproot their lives and relocate. Many employees in those states built their lives around what seemed to be a permanent remote flexibility arrangement (most companies went back in 23). When Hillary Super came on she even stated in one of her first Q&A’s on remote work that where people do their jobs wasn’t a big concern for her as long as we continued to drive the business forward. The business is doing the best it ever has in the last five years. Leadership reasoning for mandate is continuing to fall flat. Mandate came absolutely out of NOWHERE.
