Pros

The company stye of management is mirco managing every thing but does teach different ways to run a business.

Cons

The company is to concerned with growing to quick and doesnt look at the details that are being missed, employees, their management. They need to remember what brought them to where they are at and its not the off brand "full tilt' merchandise that you can buy at every other store. The way the company treated management with constant fake promises lead to a high level of management turn over, and if the district manager did not like you she made it known to you and your fellow employees. I had several fellow employees that were threatened so they would leave.

Pros

- Enjoyed working with teens/young adults and building them up into the workforce/ teaching them responsibilities -Policies were awesome, but not always backed by upper management - Always pushing you to be better

Cons

- Upper management did not have equal expectations of stores/ lacked clear communication -PAY, they will pay someone who is hired external far more then they ever will an internal. Doesn’t matter how long you’re there. I was trained from a seasonal, all the way up and made far less than newer peers. They do not see as much value in internals which is so unfortunate for them. Did my 8 years and have a lot of resentment over this.
