Pros

Great company discount (50%), pretty flexible with scheduling

Cons

Keyholders I feel are expected to perform tasks and duties well beyond the $9/hr. All employees MUST meet the sometimes ubsurd individual sales goals, or not receive hours, they encourage/push employees to get customers names almost immediately... The list goes on

Pros

fun environment, that's about it.

Cons

everything else. Mainly the amount of physical waste this company produces and the impact on the planet. Everything is wrapped in plastic here, even the plastic is wrapped in plastic. For a company branding itself on holistic living and love for Mother Earth, they sure aren't practicing what they preach.

Pros

Great discount at the store, the music is wonderful, and the product is fresh and funky. The customers are amazing as well. There’s something to be said about the people who visit the store on a regular basis and is nothing like the other mall stores surrounding. There seems to be upward mobility for the most part but sometimes it requires moving or waiting for someone to quit for advancement. Being a key holder is not too difficult with the day to day being pleasant. Doing visuals is fun as well

Cons

We have a communication breakdown. The goals grow while the amount of product shrinks. Everything is based on sales goals and if you don’t make it you’re not getting the good shifts. The company uses workplace for lots of things and it is replacing emails so things get lost in the shuffle. They want us to use the platform but only in a way that flatters the company. It’s like a false positivity breeding ground and can get catty quickly. Tone is not conveyed well and the #consisitency came out of nowhere. The standards are constantly changing and while it’s a new company it’s inconsistent at best. There’s lots of changes to management and a shifting mgmt style. At first higher ups were very hands on and now everything is so remote and strangely micromanaging at multiple levels. Going through lots of store managers in short amounts of time is stressful for the entire staff.
