Pros

We typically get to leave around 6 every day

Cons

Don’t get to work from home. You’re technically allowed to “flex”, but there’s an unspoken rule that you need to show up every day. Leadership sends you spinning Everything is smoke in mirrors It’s a British fraternity A lot of the guys are misogynists. One person in the office used to call all the merchants b**** and c***s, he’s been promoted twice. Managers don’t know how to manage so “managing up” is the course of action There’s no HR department No salary increases and therefore no performance appraisals so leadership doesn’t have to discuss salary increases Promotions are rare Company doesn’t value talent or productivity. It’s essentially a beauty pageant. Don’t be fooled, leadership is trying to implement “work from anywhere” as a selling feature when recruiting. It’s BS. Only valid for 2 weeks in the summer (not even of your choosing). Not a modern company in terms of culture and work/life balance; has actually regressed, pretty garmento.

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.
