Pros

Flexible hours, good pay. The people were cool and we made joked a lot about the work environment. Store manager was funny and laid back. But could talk too much on the radio. Good to work if you have nothing else.

Cons

Apparel department work too hard have to run 15 rails of clothes a week. Get fitting rooms, help cashiers and help customers. Management expects you to be responsible for all 3 floor of apparel in the building. Ridiculous. Too much product. People stole out of the store a lot, including associates who were eventually fired. Extremely HIGH turnover rate. People are constantly being fired and hired every other week. No one wants to work there. They don't train you properly, so you are left to babysit the new people. Customers are ok sometimes you get some really rude ones in Buckhead. When management changed it got worse! Horrible incompetent assistant managers. One was hired from the basement and didn't know anything! Instead flirted with all the girl associates that gave him a smile.

Pros

Corporate is 10/10. At a large company, every department is different but they value their customers and employees and offer great benefits. Rewarding to work there

Cons

Not much to say. Best employer I’ve had

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.
