Pros

My team Decent benefits Dress-code

Cons

Your leader will define your experience. Beware, it’s the luck of the draw. Extremely long hours Bonuses are nearly impossible and highly taxed Insurance is very expensive Company is cheap and risks your safety Leaders are verbally abusive If you have a family or kids good luck getting time off to spend with them. Micromanaged Unrealistic expectations Worst discount ever! 20% barley covers tax!

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.
