Pros

Good discounts if you get to use the 3point5 website. Best (most comfortable) dress code ever- yoga pants, athletic shirts, and tennis shoes. Can be fun sometimes if you like your coworkers.

Cons

Black Friday is awful. No one was allowed to take off, which meant most of college kids didn't get to go home for thanksgiving. You had to work a 12 shift. My feet were literally throbbing after black friday. It gets annoying picking up after customers. You might spend an hour refolding an entire table of tshirts and some adult will go over and mess them all up. Sometimes they just throw stuff on the ground right in front of you. One time someone pooped in the dressing room. I'm serious. Working retail can really make you dislike people sometimes.

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.
