It was great until it wasn't

Pros

Pay rate Ability to move up in store-level management Benefits were very affordable Pto (assuming you get to actually use it when you want, rather than just to save payroll). Starts with 4 weeks, 5 years gets you another week. Employee discount People you work with day to day are usually amazing.

Cons

Communication Micromanagement like crazy HR does nothing helpful with employee concerns. Management is conditioned to be constantly anxious of a surprise visit and afraid of getting their head bit off for just doing their best. Expectation and accountability surrounding certain KPIs and credit acquisition DURING A PANDEMIC were insane, and not consistently enforced based on favoritism. The turnover should speak for itself. Good intentions on diversity and inclusion, but little follow through. They committed to not allowing an offer to be extended on a candidate unless a person of color was interviewed. They definitely don't do that. If you work there, you are just a warm body.

Pros

the team at my store was fantastic, i made lifelong friends working there. the discount is 50%, which is great. the clothes there are actually pretty high quality, too.

Cons

they say they're a b corp, but do you have any idea how much plastic is wasted there? it's way more than you would think. management liked to go on power trips for no reason, and reports of their bullying to the GM were pretty much ignored. the pay was really bad for the amount of work i did, and i was given a 31 cent raise because i opened forty credit cards. do you know how much revenue i made for the company doing that? and i only got a 31 cent raise in compensation for it? laughable.

Kind associates who care about the job and brand

Cons

awful management, they are degrading and condensing, they created 99% of the drama that goes on in the work place and made it an extremely toxic environment
