Pros

None Zero nothing the absolute worst

Cons

No communication for DM, lack of innovation. Still using pencil and paper on a spread sheet to track daily sales and % of decrease. No paid company holidays, no sick days. Managers accrue 10 days a year and Full time 5. These are the only paid days you will receive. Bereavement is 2 days if your spouse or parent dies. Mangers have to request cleaning supplies from the DM, usually no budget. As a store manager you do not have access to a staples account or P-card for expenses. Everything goes through the DM. No business cards no email, but you are expected to build client relations with no tools. Events the team is expected to call clients, again we do not have email or a company provided phone to text our clients. Many time the staff used their personal phone to text clients for events. Very classy with the plastic bowl for client beverages and balloons. Image party city hosting an event. Many times we ran out of ink for our printer and had to request another store to print a shipping label and fax, yes fax in 2020 to our store in order to fulfill a client send. (Needed the ups shipping label) The absolute worst experience!

Pros

Business hours and get to meet some great clients

Cons

Lack of recognition for hard workers. No pay increase. Some employees are getting paid 30+ an hour at most stores and complain about a couple of cents from pay increase where people like myself is getting paid $10 less with no pay increase. Full time employees will do the most work more than anyone else, including management. Management also receives the most recognition over the employees that do the most work. This company has been bought out by Macy’s so I don’t think they care to hear what employees have to say.
