Pros

There are many opportunities to try different things. If you work in Finance, and you're interested in Marketing, you can go there. The 'entrepreneurial' culture is very strong. The open door policy is real. New ideas are always welcome.

Cons

It is not easy to move up in the organization, unless you move up through the sales floor. There is not a lot of flexibility with hours, work at home, job sharing, part time opportunities, etc. Also, the insurance benefits are not great.

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.
