Pros

Great employee discount! 50% five full-price items each month (they need to be wear-to-work appropriate). 30% off on all other full price items, select full price items are 60% off, and employees always get an additional 50% off of markdowns! The people here are fun and relaxed for the most part, but still organized and well-run. There's a really extensive training before you begin, so you feel prepared to sell.

Cons

Seasonal employees get very few hours unless it is between Thanksgiving and New Years'; after, I only ever worked one 4-hour shift/week, and this was the norm.

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.
