Pros

Loved working with people and helping them get what they need so this job was perfect. Several perks were also nice such as small rewards and the associate discount.

Cons

I have worked there for 6+ years and haven't moved up without getting demoted. 20 cent raises only come around once a year. I have had bad experiences with several managers and having consistent hours. Full time is considered to be 30 hours so don't expect to get more than 20 hours a week. Also, expect random cuts in hours and then managers not telling you that they changed or cut your schedule.

Pros

- Unlimited PTO with 401k match is awesome

Cons

- Performance expectations were often unclear or inconsistently communicated, Feedback was reactive instead of timely and actionable. - Leadership quality varied dramatically by manager, with limited coaching or mentorship. - Constant shifting priorities without adjusting expectations or workload. - Psychological safety was lacking, Honest communication feel risky. - Leadership messaging around culture didn't match day-to-day reality. - Process was often valued more than impact or results. - Compensation well below market, w/little flexibility during negotiations. - I felt excluded from key conversations and opportunities that were important to my success.
