Pros

Inverse Pyramid is real. Major focus on the customer. Has strong culture and values and is very considerate and deliberate about decisions impacting employees and customers.

Cons

Hard to break in to the culture. Some people very resistant to considering new ideas and change. Need a bit more awareness and focus on the outside world..especially competitors, and changes driven by technology

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.
