Pros

You get to work with great people, who serve more as family as time with company grows. Learn a great deal in terms of business; specifically profit management, product sell through, and how to drive results. Furthermore, you get a great deal of opportunity to develop leadership competencies such as: developing others, executive presentation skills, business analysis, etc. Hardwork and Results are rewarded with recognition, promotions, bonuses and top talent retreats.

Cons

Expectation is extremely high - admittedly, unrealistically high. From business to operational expectation there is an extreme stress to deliver flawless results - however payroll and support does not effectively set teams up for success to execute as expected. Work/life balance is non-existent and the only Talent that survives with PACSUN are the people who are willing to put life last.

Pros

coworkers are really nice and are in the trenches with you

Cons

-Promotions appear to happen only when entire teams leave, rather than as recognition for strong performance or career growth. -Raises are essentially nonexistent, even for employees who consistently exceed expectations. -Executive bonuses seem to be prioritized while employee compensation remains stagnant, creating a perception of unequal reward distribution. -Leadership frequently asks for employee feedback on how to improve, but there is little visible action or follow-through on that feedback. -Communication feels one-sided, with employees feeling unheard despite repeated requests for input. -Limited investment in employee development and retention can make long-term career growth difficult.
