Pros

Company is Amazing Wonderful discount Great product ! Amazing Store design .. Regional manager seemed amazing and understood the stores - Really wish I was able to work for different leaders within this company because the product is amazing and the company has amazing values !

Cons

Store Leadership is not acceptable ! With in five weeks I watched five members from leadership exit the building with in the same four walls _ The stores who do retain their people is because they have built them from the bottom up and they do not know any other work environment. You have Zero work life balance SM expects the Co to work 46-57 hours per week to work on D.O.R. ! Every Request Off I submitted ( A Tuesday for example was denied ) I was so disappointed in the leadership , what a wonderful company with amazing product but the people are ruining it for both the customer & employee.

Pros

Could manage the business as I saw fit as through the lens of a business owner

Cons

Training was minimal and in a location very different than my future store. Staff I inherited was horrible and leadership was not transparent about the status of the store in regards to profitability and issues within the store or company for that matter. Company declared bankruptcy about 5 months after I started and closed my location. Not a great experience.
