Pros
-PTO/Bonuses -Working w/ clothes all day -First dibs on cute clothes for cheap -Good training system/concept, though it can be wildly hard to maintain as a manager and corporate expectations are unrealistic -Travel for company meetings
Cons
-Scheduling and hours: if you are a salaried employee aka a store manager, be prepared for them to take advantage of you and your time. You’re given a good amount of PTO but you can never use it! Scheduled for managers are very rigid, I maybe had one or two weekends days off during my 3 years w/ the company which is insane. I was also constantly working overtime and my days off but not being paid for it due to being salary and no one in corporate cared -Seniority is very important when it comes to “GA” which creates a cult-like company culture. People literally joke about “drinking the kool-aid”. -policies are inconsistently upheld company wide -the customers can be extremely aggressive verbally and physically and the company doesn’t seem to care enough about it. Employees have been physically assaulted and attacked in stores and corporate has the most lax, insensitive response and coaches it’s managers to do the same. -SO political
