Pros

Great team aspect and managers were aware of their associates, took care to schedule around their needs and were receptive to their concerns.

Cons

When the district manager or regional manager were scheduled to visit, the entire staff of the store would stop their daily tasks and their daily work routines to "clean" and "modify" the store to "appear" as if it were meticulously maintained on a daily basis. However, a planned daily upkeep checklist would have prevented many of the random cleanings we did whenever the top managers would visit - such as dusting nightly or at least bi-weekly, etc.

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.
