Pros

The company is nationally recognized and acclaimed for customer service. The teams I've worked on and the positions I've held have been challenging and promoted growth. The benefits are excellent and they truly promote a work life balance.

Cons

There is a very glass ceiling approach to movement within the corporate world. Positions have specific paths and it is atypical for a path to be changed or adjusted even if someone fits the role. The company and the growth potential start to feel smaller once you get to the second or third level of the pyramid, despite the vast amount of positions available.

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.
