Pros

Energetic, upbeat, fun atmosphere to manage. Company was pretty organized with shipment and communication.

Cons

Pay was too low for sales associates, amount of workload vs payroll was unrealistic. Store Managers have to work well over 50 hours to keep things moving. Assistant Pay was too low for the demands of the job. Work/life balance wasn’t there.

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.
