Pros

- A close-knit group of co-workers - Had "regulars" at our store because of kids who played multiple sports - A discount, even if it wasn't that great

Cons

- Overworked their employees. The way the pay period cuts off, they keep you under 40 hours on paper, but there were weeks I definitely worked more than 40 hours. Tried to talk to them about it since I was still in college and they didn't work with me at all - If you can't work a full two weeks when you give their notice, they tell you that you can never work for them again, which is ridiculous (but I wasn't bummed) - Small discount

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.
