Pros

25% discount, flexible hours, very comfortable dress code, fun environment.

Cons

Very small chance of advancement. Worked there 3 years, never missed a shift, and was never moved up past a cashier. Staff is often short-handed which makes it miserable on employees on busy days. No appreciation for employees. Poorly managed and people not treated equally. Pigeon-hold women to front end/apparel positions. pressure to sign up scorecard members.

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.
