Pros

There weren't any pros as far as I'm concerned.

Cons

I was hired in October and I worked one two hour shift in the stock room when I was promised four hours, and I worked three hours on black friday when I was promised eight. After black friday, I mysteriously stopped showinng up on the schedule and when I asked why that was, I was told that because I was "the last person hired" for seasonal help, the system sometimes didn't recognize my name. I felt that they thought they could take advantage of me because this was my first job. It was completely overwhelming and I did not recieve any formal training. I never worked behind the cash register either. Very weird experience.

Pros

I love that company offers wellness days and other benefits to focus on your mental health. I also like how there’s more training outlets for leadership and stylist.

Cons

The only con I would say is having an extra layer up for mental health insurance for stylist

Pros

Majority of cross-functional team members are great to work with, toxic behavior is rarely tolerated.

Cons

Back to back deadlines No time for vacations (deadlines also consistently shift, making it difficult to pre-plan vacations that aren't a 3 day weekend) No growth/promotions (even when you've been handling tasks that were your boss's job for 4 years) Underpaid and overworked
