Pros

The employee discount and … unfortunately I cannot think of anything else

Cons

Toxic work environment encouraged from the hire up management Ridiculously high workload Zero flexibility Nothing you do will ever be good enough.. Your opinion will not matter Promotions are based on favoritism ONLY You will be a disposable warm body You will never be able to meet the constantly changing expectations Juvenile, arrogant and narcissistic leadership styles are favored… Using your Voice is frowned upon.. You will NEVER feel empowered, or appreciated Must be a yes person do NOT even think about setting boundaries Your personal phone will constantly go off at all hours … I could continue but I should use the time to look into other career choices. HIGH TURNOVER!!! District managers have zero respect for your personal time , you MUST be available to change your life at the very last minute even for a last minute zoom call just to read a document that was sent 5 other ways … Unless you are 18 , mute and incredibly inexperienced DO NOT APPLY!!!!

Pros

great discount. Co-workers are the reason I stayed as long as I did.

Cons

Management is the reason I quit. I did not like that the brand was about "empowering women" and we were paid $10/hour and "coached" in a manner that was patronizing.
