Pros

the community here is amazing. Home office works close with stores to ensure success.

Cons

Sometimes our sales goals are too high for the amount of traffic we receive in store and it reflects badly on store workers when it is out of our hands,

Pros

Friendly and accepting atmosphere, open dress code, good discount

Cons

Corporate does not communicate with stores, policies and changes implemented company wide that force stores to do large changes simply because corporate doesn’t know the layout of the store
