Pros

7 weeks of vacation! Work/life balance and great peer group prior to relocation. Really great place to work and develop a career.

Cons

Not every place in the country was like that. Was demoted during relocation, worked with inept management with no chance of getting back to prior position. Poorly run stores with no understanding of how to succeed. And the company is now run by the woman behind the frappichino and the woman who developed the walgreens app who will not shut up about serendipity. Serendipity doesn't get my 25,000 dollar paycut back.

Pros

Good full-time benefits, flexible scheduling. But the cons are starting to outweigh the good.

Cons

A new store manager took over the Massapequa Park location (Long Island, NY) and the workplace culture has become highly challenging since. Her management style is overly critical, and she makes harsh, rapid judgments without taking the time to know her associates or understand their roles. Furthermore, she does not lead by example, and she sets unrealistic expectations without providing regular check-ins or continuous coaching. This has left the staff feeling unsupported and neglected. There is also a strong perception that loyal employees hours are being unfairly cut or even terminated to reduce store costs rather than supporting the well-being and retention of the staff.
