Pros

- Discount - Flexible with scheduling especially if you're in college

Cons

- Unprofessional management (will text and call outside of work hours to harass you if you did something wrong) - at least 9 hour work days - Always understaffed - A manager is never at the store longer than 2 years - Turnover rate is high. Its frustrating to train someone new every 2-3 weeks - You only get a promotion/raise if you're buddies with your manager

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.
