Pros

Always forward-thinking and putting together events that make you proud to work there. Lots of sample sales, good discount and fun events for employees.

Cons

Workload has been an issue for a long time and has gotten even worse in the last year. VP level and above do not have strong leadership or people development skills. Moving cross-functionally is very tough as everything is very silo-ed and it's not always a supported career move. Over-worked and under-appreciated is a longstanding and well-known issue among employees.

Pros

I loved my job. I’m met so many wonderful people. And the associates couldn’t have been better.

Cons

I hurt myself and had to have surgery, and I was on Worker’s Comp. with limited availability. Because hours were short in operations, they made up this crazy position and wanted me to be ”lead” of the markdown team. I knew that meant for the most part to do go backs. I told them I wasn’t allowed to be on my feet that long and so she said they couldn’t accommodate me and I had to leave. And then the manager had the nerve to call their workers comp and told them I wasn’t coming into work. The management at that time was horrible. But there was a time when I first started working there that to store manager, and the assistant manager were wonderful. We were all so sad they left, but it didn’t take this new manager that I was talking about any time at all to lose almost the entire store associates.
