Pros

Loved my team. For the most part, everyone worked really well together; despite a toxic store manager.

Cons

Pay was horrible. No room to grow, even tho they make it seem like there is. The DMs don’t believe in you & play favoritism. At least in my specific position.

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.
