Pros

Learned a lot about running a business and different types of retail merchandising. Made decent money over the years.

Cons

Almost everything—they don’t take care of their internal all stars very well, every little promotion is jumping through hoops while someone from a Office Depot or sports authority is hired with no clue or no desire to do well or care. Continuing to cut management positions and payroll and continuing to ask for the same product with services and customer service, not to mention more gameplans with no apparel hours. Also no accountability for ASMs or store managers who are complete failures, they get chance after chance to keep running their stores into the ground. Also—pathetic discount, and pathetic culture where nobody is recognized unless it’s forced upon and never feels genuine.

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.
