Pros

I really like my co-workers. The discount is great (getting brands like Nike, Under Armour, and North Face at a decent price is nice).

Cons

Store is generally understaffed. Unrealistic productivity expectations (to quote a recent daily morning meeting "We're a little shorthanded today, but getting all of the freight processed and to the floor is our top priority... Our customer service scores have fallen a little bit so we need to make sure we're focusing on customers and giving them all our attention."), Management frequently fails to take availability into account when modifying schedules, then holds associates responsible for finding someone to cover the shift they weren't available to work in the first place.

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.
