Pros

Fun to design for customers - i would have the most fun dealing with customers and providing the most knowledge to them to give them informed decisions.

Cons

Bad management - You have management who has no clue what they are doing. Makes your job harder to help customers. Management will threaten your job if you try to reach out to upper management to address concerns with poor leadership. Unacceptable behaviors - Management would freak out and make it seem as though everything you do is wrong instead of trying to help you. You will be told to do things. When done exactly as stated. They will instead write you up for things that never happened. Products- products are marked up to a ridiculous rate and company will insist that it is the best quality when its the same stuff sold right down the street by competitors. False promises - had multiple employees told that they are being promoted but instead they hire from the outside right after they tell employees about being promoted. Had it happen to me and 2 other coworkers. Even seen a designer who work there for more than 5 years be passed for another new person because of random prerequisites that they change every time they discuss the promotions. Super low pay- they have a draw system that makes it impossible to make more money then the minimum unless you work at a super high volume store. Everyone ends up owing the company out of the paycheck. Customers do not matter- if you are here to help people design and make nice projects DONT. Customers are the last of their worries. Its all about how to milk the customer even when you have customer service issues. Seen it plenty of times where customers get short shipped items and you have to resell it to them even though they never received them. Had management change multiple times since being there. Management even told me on my first few days, how the company already wanted to fire me as employee because of lack of knowledge of company knowledge (SAP, OMS, company sales tactics)

Pros

There's a system to follow and it's an open ceiling to how much you can make.

Cons

The only con I came across over the years, is candidates lying on their resume's and wasn't willing to be coachable because they thought they knew everything.

Pros

Some of the floor staff are great people to work with.

Cons

The core issue here is a management culture that has completely decayed. It is an "old school" environment in the worst way possible—rigid, out of touch, and fueled by greed. There are blatant double standards where leadership expects total flexibility and "hustle" from staff, but offers zero support or fair treatment in return. The focus is entirely on the bottom line at the expense of employee morale. It feels like the company is stuck in a bygone era, refusing to modernize its approach to work-life balance or fair compensation. Career growth feels stagnant unless you fit into their specific "inner circle."
