One of the worst places I have ever worked!

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Yes it's a laid back place that promotes peace love and light. I love the message it gives

Cons

Management is terrible They play favorites For a place that promotes all good things sure does have alot of negativity from management. Even after I quit I was still harassed by management. Someone had a panic attack there and quit due to the toxicity of the job. People are constantly walking out on the job because of how bad management is. I do not recommend this place to work because for a place that promotes positivity doesnt give positivity to its employees The St. Augustine store treats their employees like garbage and there are 4 other employees that work there that agree with me. Probably will think about going to cooperate next.

Only as Good as Immediate Leadership

Store manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Competitive pay for mall retail. Good bonus program that extends to all levels of employees including seasonal associates. Operations (damages, shipment, transfers, supply orders) are all intuitive and easy to do. Open communication with Home Office. Attainable sales goals. Good 401K match and insurance plan.

Cons

There are several avenues for communication so it can be hard to keep up - things can easily missed if you're not staying on top of it. The Workplace platform can get catty sometimes. In locations with strong store level leadership and DM presence, it's a total dream job. I have seen, in other locations, hyper-competitive teams, toxic leadership, and lack of accountability. It seems the further away from Home Office you get, the lower the standards. There is also a lot of plastic waste from shipment and I wish they could address it at home office instead of tasking stores with it- they have much more room to make an impact at the corporate level than we do as individuals.

Pros

Laid back. Learn easily how a retail store operates. How to close a difficult sale.

Cons

Usually doesn't promote from within. More outside hiring.
