Not Worth It

Pros

* Nice starting pay * Good discount (50% off at Athleta & BRONG) * somewhat flexible scheduling * being able to serve all kinds of women

Cons

* Terrible, terrible, unethical push for making people open lines of credit. Encourages creating supercial relationships with customers JUST to get them to open line of credit. Despicable. No one pushes for BRIGHT, the relatively new program, so that’s useless. If you don’t sell enough cards, they dock your hours and chastise you. Not worth the stress. Look elsewhere.

We are disappointed to hear this as it does not align with our core values. We understand selling credit cards can be a pain point for some of our store employees. As you have noted, we have recently launched our new BRIGHT Rewards Program (http://krt.li/a7xnz) as an effort to help alleviate the pressure of signing up for a credit card. We take employee feedback seriously and hope that the BRIGHT program will improve the experience for both employees and our customers.

Pros

Great compensation, Company had great messaging in body positive, product was great and easy to stand behind.

Cons

awful district management, always a huge disconnect of what happens in a for daily and what they expect. They don't look to promote or educate within they always seek outside hiring. Overwork staff constantly and claim its a normal work environment if you have a "growth mindset"

Pros

Discounts on clothing, flexibility in scheduling, great team atmosphere.

Cons

No benefits for part time work.Very small pay increases each year. So slight that after 3 years I'd only received .40/hour raise.
