Pros

I was part of getting thevstore ready to open which was a great bonding experience with fellow employees We had a few good leads who went above and beyond to protect the associates from management.

Cons

The managers were awful, they would hide in the back to avoid customers asking for them, they gave themselves increased hours when the company was calling for hours cuts so there were never enough employees working the store, but still berated is for the customers’ unhappiness.

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.
