Australian branch is dreadful.

Pros

Free Brooks shoes and clothing upon starting.

Cons

Underpaid, understaffed. Upper management does not care at all. I opened a brand new store and was the store manager for 3 months before I stood down due to the terrible mental health the role had given me. I was replaced with an absolute clown with the most significant god complex I had ever seen. All 5 staff we started with and 3 extra I begged to hire have all moved on or been terminated and replaced by young girls.
