Pros

Lately, none to think of

Cons

- micromanage is an understatement, management comes around and takes attendance every morning. You are told you must be here by 8:30 am every morning and stay until 5:30 every night. ZERO, and I mean ZERO flexibility, that includes doctors appointments, family needs or even personal time. People are being told to schedule doctor appointments outside of in office days - you have an emergency and need to get to a Dr asap? Doesn’t matter - in office days are now Monday- Thursday- even though company still has jobs listed on LinkedIn as “hybrid”. So dishonest. In office extension from 3-4 days based on one year of bad performance. One year, in a company that has been profitable for decades. Poor business was directly blamed on the buyers and their teams, even though the buyers have no autonomy to make ANY decision on their own. This blame was not only shared with the buyers but also showcased publicly by CEO on quarterly business call for all competition and vendor base to hear. You wanna work for a company that has your back? This ain’t it. - Diversity and Inclusion is forced here, on annual and mid year reviews. We’re even being asked how the company can “measure” it. As a person of color, and there are VERY few here, I have to say- if you have to “measure it” it isn’t present. - the mindset and processes here are archaic- there is no work/life balance. You are pushed to your breaking point. We are not heard when expressed concerns we are told to wear “our company hat” and spin it to be positive. The culture here is toxic, everyone is miserable. Please go work ANYWHERE else.

Pros

I enjoy the employee discount, however, we had our quarterly meeting and all im receiving a small quarterly bonus which I'm sooooo very grateful for. Granted we are a new store and opened in October but I was expecting at least 1 dollar raise. Maybe the next quarter will be better!!!! 😀

Cons

The things I do not agree with is we need to clock out for dinner being the only MOD on the floor bc of payroll and we can try to make it up while we are not busy
