Pros

By far, this is the most fulfilling job I have had. I love managing and staying busy and this company sure knows how to keep you busy. If you're lazy, stay away. Constant flow of shipment, visual changes, administrative work, training and being your own loss prevention team. The discount is amazing, there is room to grow (with the company expanding greatly too), i love that it is family owned and the owner and ceo make personal visits to EVERY store. The clothing is USA made and the price point is great. my co-workers and I are like a family and are very supportive of each other.

Cons

The pay rate is extremely low for the amount of work given. I can't believe how much store managers make for salary, it is so low and they work them overtime. At least as a Co-Manager, I get paid extra for over time being hourly. We don't get a proper budget to staff the store based on the work given. How can I have an associate watch the front, another in the back and manage the floor/watch out for theft/coach when we only have two people opening/closing? How can an associate be an amazing sales associate and truly help a customer if they need to leave their zone, but there isn't another person available to watch the zone while their gone? I feel like i work my butt off and can't even make enough money to pay my bills. The health insurance sucks too, more expensive than going private.

Pros

The company has a great culture and is led by a team of incredible executives. In the field, we are given the trust and freedom to run our districts like our own business. Leadership values my input and communication and expectations are clear. The the work-life balance is highly supported. Excellent bonus structure if your stores hit their targets. The company fosters growth from within and provides tools and training to help develop leadership skills. My peers and mentors create a collaborative and fun environment.

Cons

The stores are very fast paced so it can be challenging to retain employees. A car allowance would be beneficial for all the wear and tear we put on our personal vehicles with so much driving
