Pros

Regular pay raises and bonuses. Opportunity to explore different areas of the company

Cons

Few paid holidays (Memorial Day is not a paid holiday) and only 5 sick days, use it or lose it vacation and sick time. Atmosphere focused on the company profits. They use the “partner” designation to guilt you into working overtime for free as a salary employee. Employees reminded me of Stepford Wives. Encourage staff to promote the company on their own time. EX MLK parade. MLK is not a paid holiday so if you want the “opportunity” to promote the company you have to use vacation time. If you need more sick days you go on unpaid FMLA regardless of how long you were with the company. Poor work/life balance.

Pros

There were no pros at all.

Cons

My experience at the Frisco location was largely negative due to the store leadership team, headed by Stacie Sorenson. I found the management approach to be unsupportive and at times created a stressful work environment. I often felt singled out and treated differently because of my background and appearance, which made me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome during my internship. Pay was not competitive compared to similar employers. Scheduling was often inconsistent and difficult to plan around. In my experience, HR tended to support store leadership rather than adequately addressing employee concerns. The quality of the internship experience varies greatly depending on the store and management team. There can be resentment from some employees toward interns, particularly from those who were interested in the program but were not selected. Communication, mentorship, and support were not at the level I expected from a company that promotes its internship program so heavily.
