Pros

When it comes to a career that still has a majority of locations operate in a mall setting, this one can be an enjoyable place to come to work each day, if you know how to sell efficiently and know how to help make the day go by, with things to do to stay busy. It is also a rewarding career, when you learn to fit and care for people effectively, and create long lasting relationships.

Cons

There can be a lot of metrics and numbers to juggle, which can lead to a misunderstanding of the job. As much as we are here to service others, the job can, at times, feel like a number needs to be chased or a certain metric must be heavily focused on, for little more reason than to say we hit said number. Time off isn't impossible, but must be given heavy preparations, in terms of having your store properly staffed and trained. Much of the expectations of hiring fall unto your shoulders, and therefore, so does making sure you can get the time away you want. Finally, it would be nice to see more leadership in the higher supervisor roles, to allow them more time with management to further and more effectively coach and correct concerns.

Pros

ESOP, Profit Sharing, health, dental and vision Insurance. Granted, this review could change depending on if they actually pay out the ESOP and Profit Sharing.

Cons

There’s so many. Goals that are always set with them knowing you’ll never be promoted. The locker room talks they call supervisor meetings. No follow up on performance, biased reviews submitted at year-end evaluations. They say reviews are to be honest without fear of retaliation which is the furthest thing from the truth. The home office will make sure they find every reason not to promote someone. They have their favorites who brown-nose and don’t challenge leadership. When upper management is asked more heavy hitting questions they dance around a direct answer. You never get straight forward responses. There’s no such thing as an HR department there. Good luck getting help for medical situations. They are very hush hush about your sick/vacation/and personal time that you can use. There’s no way to look it up. It is always just a guessing game. They gaslight you into thinking they are like a family and they take care of family. Don’t drink the Kool-aid. The healthy workplaces are all about work life balance and keeping the 2 separated. The president of the company can flaunt his jordans and jean at manager meetings but expects his floor managers to wear polished leather shoes and business casual attire, (no jeans, cargo pants, leggings) . The hypocrisy really shows what the leadership team things of their managers at the store level. I also loved the diversity push. If you have to focus on diversity you know there’s a HUGE problem within the organization.
