Pros

30% employee discount, including gift cards and 50% off clearance. I had to leave a few times for Army National Guard service, and each time I came back they were excited to bring me back on as soon as I wanted to come back to work. This is the kind of place where if I was having a bad day and thought about calling in sick, I always made myself go to work, not because I was afraid of getting in trouble for not coming in, but because I knew that going in to work would make me feel better. The store management actually cared about us, whenever I was having an off day I could always talk to my management about it and they would be there to listen and to offer advice, whether it had to do with work or personal life.

Cons

The Store Director left for another company, and her replacement (brought in from another company) was AWFUL. There were several people in assistant management positions within the company that wanted the position and would have been great at it, but they were passed up.

Pros

Good time-off package. Holiday week off for office employees. Historically respected work-life balance and flexible working. Good employee discount and maternity leave.

Cons

C-suite pushing a mandatory 3 days in-office after 5+ years of boasting flexibility as a cornerstone of their employee benefits package. Lack of clear and thoughtful communication of this new policy was frustrating and disheartening as an employee. Leadership, starting with the CEO, is at an all-time low of the last 6 years of working in their corporate office. Horrifying to see how poorly initiatives are getting rolled out, likely getting pushed down from board of directors. Would anticipate a rough transition into the company if you choose to take a role replacing the dozens of employees possibly being forced to leave the company due to RTO.
