Pros
The area is beautiful. There's opportunity for training and career advancement.
Cons
I would describe the culture at Bealls as traditional, anti-technology, racist, homophobic and misogynistic. Management has told me to "never say no", "just do your job" and "smile more". The response to COVID-19 was shameful. All employees suffered from either layoffs or pay cuts, whichever was cheaper. Corporate employees were forced to work in the office despite positive COVID-19 cases reported week after week. The company does not care about any social justice issues, the community or giving back. The dress code is strict for a fashion company and even prohibits cross dressing. Turnover is always through the roof, so you will likely have to cover open positions for months to years with no pay recognition. I think all of these issues stem from poor management and a lack of trust throughout the organization.
