Pros

Educators are amazing to work with, store discount is good, guests can make your day.

Cons

Horrible environment, insecure leadership, power tripping management who like to micromanage, double standard in the store when educators are treated like slaves and the management like guards just looking for an excuse to ´coach’ them, horrible schedules made worse with flywheel, some stores are still navigating it while our store went full on with rigid schedules and no flexibility, management actually lies to shift blame to others, favouritism and a few selected employees can do no wrong, everyone else is treated as if they are su standard.

Pros

Great team environment with supportive coworkers and positive culture. Strong emphasis on personal growth, communication, and leadership development. Flexible scheduling and a workplace that values health, wellness, and work-life balance

Cons

Can be fast-paced during peak hours and requires strong multitasking. Expectations can be high at times, especially around guest experience and store standards.

Pros

The benefits with the sweaty Pursuits is good and the insurance is good too! You get a team that you get to put together and get to know them and see what works for you guys to be successful in a processing shift!

Cons

The nights are long and very overworked. They ask a lot from you and usually they put the business before you. It’s always we need this and that from the managers but not actually taking time to help or to actually see that we are trying our best and if they actually worked a shift with us and saw the struggles they would understand more. They think it’s easy, when the weight of the store depends on us. You are also qualified as a Guest Experience lead since you have to do both trainings so the management do over utilise that and you will be doing two jobs. Even though it says in the description to support the floor but there’s a difference between supporting from time to time and doing it all the time where you are running the floor and the back at the same time but they’ll say “oh why isn’t this done?” Maybe because you’ve told me to help you out ? The are also very selective about who moves up to be a manager. No work life balance at all!
