Pros

Bonuses even for hourly employees, flexible hours, friendly staff, positive work environment, opportunities to change positions, opportunities for advancement, holiday pay even when you don't work on holidays double pay when you do, free food all the time, scholarship program for students, high pay relative to other retail positions

Cons

Poor health benefits package, advancing to a management position or higher is difficult, chronically understaffed, stressful when store is busy and there aren't enough employees, all floor associates have to take turns going on register when cashiers don't show up for work, constantly badgered about selling plus memberships

Pros

At the corporate level, the benefits and compensation are excellent. Colleagues at the producer level are standout teammates, talented, collaborative, and genuinely invested in the company's success. They consistently bring forward meaningful contributions and make the day-to-day work rewarding.

Cons

"Chaos" is not a word I'm using loosely. It's the word echoed across teams, including outside of Experience and Product. Leadership operates in a constant state of upheaval: frequent role changes, structural reorganizations, and strategy pivots that are implemented without any clear plan or consideration of cross-team impact. Incredibly talented people are let go as a result of poor leadership and people management decisions. There is no real culture of mentorship above the senior manager level. Leadership above the senior manager level made clear that mentorship isn't their responsibility and that you're expected to figure it out on your own, despite the company having training resources available. That disconnect is telling.
