Pros

benefits offered, decent coworkers, decent hours

Cons

I was given the work of 4 or 5 people and expected to complete all of it alone on insane deadlines. For example, 5000 sticker markdowns in 2.5 days on random merch items located throughout the store, both sales floor and back stock. This is while I am being called up front every 10 mins to run a register (not my job), and constantly having to open fitting rooms for customers. on top of also being made to work on ship from store for hours on end (nowhere in my job description nor was it mentioned in my interviews or on-boarding). Management's bonus structure/the store report card are dependent on metrics derived from price changes and ship from store completion, so expect insane workload, lack of support, and mediocre pay. I wouldn't do this job again for $30/hour let alone $15.

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.
