Pros

The employees in store are the only good thing about this company. The products attract a lot of kind and interesting people to work with the company.

Cons

Corporate is the worst team of people. Lazy. They dont care about anything other than sales. There is nothing anywhere to prove that the company does any sort of ethical trading. I worked an entire year and saw absolutely no evidence of any ethical trading happening or even heard about it. I started out as a keyholder and was not trained for that position. Was promoted to Assistant and was not trained. I was promoted to Store Manager and was trained at an absolute minimum. My DM was only concerned about me training employees to make sales and completely neglected that our stores stockroom was full of old clearance that had been sitting there for an entire year. I worked nearly 50 hours every week and don't have a dime to show for it, the pay is awful. I had no time for myself outside of work because my days off consisted of directing my assistant on what to do while I was not in the store. Senior management is a joke, the training was poor. Overall a terrible experience.

Pros

great employee discount. work/life balance. open door policy.

Cons

after reading other reviews about pay I want to add that I feel the company isn't honoring it's "nomads" with a livable wage. They expect loyalty, dependability and enthusiasm yet cannot pay more? They even recommend having secondary jobs admitting they do not pay livable wages. Traveling to other stores I have conversed with other company store managers and the general vibe is we do not feel truly appreciated. We feel over worked, expectations are high and we are under paid. Everyone is underpaid. Yes there is monthly bonuses, however only if you exceed your goals. How about not doing that and just paying us more? I love Earthbound however would love even more if they reevaluated their infrastructure and pay their people more. This company is stretched thin up to HQ and we are opening more and more stores. Take a breather EB, check your house and get us in order please.
