Pros

The discounts available to employees are awesome and it's great having first access to new style or new sales. It was fun learning more about the company and its particular style. Good sales experience!

Cons

Very hard to get a normal schedule or enough hours, lack of structure, poor training/communications and overly high expectations. Very strict dress code that was slightly ambiguous, making it difficult to live up to their standards.

Pros

There are a lot of talented, hardworking people at this company, which makes recent leadership decisions even more frustrating.

Cons

Communication around major organizational changes has been vague and inconsistent, leaving employees with significant uncertainty and little confidence in the direction of the business. Morale has declined considerably. Many employees feel that years of experience, performance, and institutional knowledge are being undervalued in favor of rigid policies and top-down decision making.
