Pros

While employed the work life balance was good and I enjoyed my role. Pay was also decent.

Cons

Layoffs constantly happen. There is absolutley no job security, your whole team will just be dropped like a hat no matter the tenure or value. They put in place rules to make advancement impossible as well unless you are willing to relocate to HQ in Seattle. I weasled my way through keeping a job twice from layoffs, but then even those teams were eventually dismantled.

Pros

Decent base pay, somewhat autonomous, great tip potential.

Cons

The company has changed for the worse since COVID. When I came back the mood of the entire store had shifted. Gone were the days of comradery, customer focus, and taking pride in a job well done. In its place there is a new culture of cutthroat sales, a severe decline in customer focus, and worst of all a new focus on profit over customer satisfaction. When I was told that the amount the store charged for a shoe shine was not enough to do the best job I could for a customer I knew things had gone downhill for the company. Not to mention I watch a manager prey on a mentally disabled person in order to secure a sale, when the person could not understand what was being offered. Sad that such a once great company is now just another greed ridden corporation.
