Pros

The discount for the products. They have great sales and you can get great deals on children's clothes. You can move up semi-quickly, however there are extreme drawbacks with that.

Cons

The company severely overworks their employees. Hourly paid employees are frequently asked to work off the clock and managers have even changed times on employee's punches to meet SPH. The stores are understaffed and employees are expected to do the work of two or three people for minimum wage. You can quickly move up in the company, however there is inadequate training. It is obvious they do not properly investigate people before giving them a promotion. I was promoted and never received proper training. My superior had a problem with understanding anything that wasn't what she had been doing for then years. I felt like I was talking to a child everytime I used a shortcut on the computer or used a straightening technique I had learned from another store.

Pros

30% off discount – Nothing else

Cons

This company exhibits a daily fluctuation in its attitudes and approaches, affecting both employee interactions and customer service. Managers are not protected from customer complaints, and customer service consistently prioritizes customer satisfaction over factual investigations. District managers can be either supportive and understanding or dismissive and unprofessional. Some district managers may even encourage employees to resign due to their negative attitude. I have personally experienced multiple instances where district managers reacted negatively to a simple “no.” This behavior, coupled with the managers’ excessive workload and lack of recognition, has led to employee frustration and breakdowns. While the district manager for Georgia expresses a desire to change the company culture, the current culture remains unchanged, characterized by superficial gestures of “fake smiles” and “fake support.” The company’s practices are exploitative, and employees are constantly reminded of their replaceability and lack of value. This toxic work environment has created a hostile and unpleasant atmosphere.
