Pros
Good benefits for both part time and full time employees. Employee stock purchase plan. Employee environment (save management and corporate) is made up of some fantastic people.
Cons
Extremely stressful workplace environment. Management is disconnected and often time has no idea what the overall situation is. Also severely ignorant of employee well being and feedback. They love to give it, and encourage subordinate employees to do so as well. However when it’s given it is met with a blank stare, a fake smile, and head nod and no further engagement or follow up. Yet when they give feedback they will literally follow you around, interrupt customer engagements making things incredibly tense and awkward all while being critical for your the sole reason of “acting like a manager” and not for sincerely trying to help you develop as an employee. Managers are often hired externally and internal ladder climbing is extremely difficult. No performance based bonuses of any kind, nothing much to incentivize hard work. Yet management profits off of employee performance and metrics via bonuses. Awful work life balance. It’s an incredibly stressful retail environment shown as being different from other places with sugary words and fake smiles. Potential for career development is next to non existent as the company for the last few years has severely limited upward growth and hiring for new positions.
