Only Pros, No Cons- I would work here over and over again

Pros

Not once have I ever had a feeling of not wanting to be at work. I look forward to seeing my co-workers. If there is something that someone is not happy about when it comes to their job, the Director of HR, the VP's, the president, and even the owner want to know so they can evaluate and make any necessary changes. I can tell they genuinely care about the happiness of the employees. 50% discount is a plus

Cons

They're only cons if you look at it as a con. EB is a growing business, there are growing pains. With the management, the growing pains, are really a way to look from within the company to see what can be altered to a way that makes everyone happy.

Earthbound is a great company! As my first Store Manager experience, I have learned so much from working here.

Pros

The 50% off discount is awesome. I love the interesting products. The positive environment is nice to work in. I, personally, get a lot of great support from my DM. I get some freedom to make my own decisions. Not super corporate.

Cons

There is a lack of employees at Home Office. Not a single person at Home Office works on the weekends, including IT. These are the busiest days of the week and when we have technological issues there is no one to help. This makes it very difficult as a Store Manager to get what they need when no one is there on the busiest days of retail.

Pros

The people, the product and the discount are the best part of working here by far. Very easy to move up.

Cons

Earthbound is a slow growing company, they struggle with follow through. If there per chance is a problem with another employee regarding harassment, safety or illegal doings and being mistreated HR takes a long time to do anything after informing them.
