Pros

The people tend to be good. Company has good insurance. Pay over time isn't bad. Loved the in store management.

Cons

The hiring of staff that is unqualified to even tie their shoes on straight is ridiculous. Pay is competitive to an extent but depends on how bad a store is hurting for new associates, if you get a higher starting pay. Most times younger people wouldn't show up for shifts and they won't pay older people more that would show up. Lost out on alot of quality associates over a few dollars due to that. Corperate expect tasks to get finished even when cutting store hours down to the point where 3 people work sells floor out of 6 departments including the one cashier that isn't supposed to leave register. If your lucky enough to get good managers (I was) they end up running back and forth with phone calls and doing ship from store so much on a timed bases because of lack of hrs for associates that their jobs are impacted and cant be done correctly as well.

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.
