Pros

Personally the location I am at the entire staff is great & we are get along so well & treat each other professionally but like we are friends. Our staff wants to reach goals due to the support they receive from management. We appreciate our team & make it known. Pay & benefits are also the best I've had in my 4 years in retail management.

Cons

If you are ready to work 12-16 hours days on a whim because corporate wants to throw a ton of store changes at you at 6:30pm and tell you "you cannot leave until this is done but you may not go over payroll" then this is the job for you. My own husband had to use his PTO just to see me one week! It's quite ridiculous & if that does come up, don't expect a break!

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.
