Pros

Meeting some really great customers and getting to try new products/getting gratis. Thats about it to be really honest. More cons than pros.

Cons

Everything else. No work life balance. You have to do things alone that should take 2-3 people. Teamwork is preached but they don't payroll your store to have a team.

Pros

Casual dress code, gratis, nice cafe, colleagues

Cons

Very top down decision making, not a lot of transparency in communication. LOTS of last minute decision making to supposedly remain nimble in the market place. Just creates chaos and a lot of extra work. Culture has really changed in the last 2 years

Pros

-Free product -Cross-brand discount (it's only half a pro because you don't get to use any discounts on promotional items)

Cons

-Awful work/life balance (plan on rearranging multiple vacations for jet visits, regional visits, floorset changes, mid theme updates or most recently complement changes) -Sell or die culture. Bad month? Better look for a new job. -Crazy metric expectations compared to other retailers -Lack of professionalism from DM level and up -HR has turned into a joke. Best guess is they have so much to deal with right now that they can't fix anything at all. -You will not coach, develop, manage talent at this company. You will sell. I repeat: You will just sell. -Very little internal promotion
