Pros

You get to bond with the other people who admit they’re suffering too

Cons

- company makes big changes without telling you or tells you last minute - company continuously increases in office days and only tells employees with little to no notice. Offering no support to those who cannot afford to go to the office more than what they were told they would have to when they were hired - higher ups get raises but barely anyone else has for the past 2 years -401k matching was taken away from us with no notice. Yet they continue to list it in their job listings - management is not supportive and borderline abusive/ rude to their assistant counterparts - was given double the amount of work to do as departments merged: was given no title change, no benefits or pay increase - no room for career growth and moving up despite how well you might do your job

Busy back to school season, although that's entirely to be expected. Never had a bad experience

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.
