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.

Pros

Support System Like No Other! Everyone earns their spot in this company. Even from our Home Office to our General Managers in store we were once a part timer, Sales Lead, or Assistant Manager. THIS IS WHAT MAKES US SPECIAL! For other reviews saying some regional supervisors are hired because of DEI is an absurd statement. This regional supervisor ran one of our biggest locations/ Mall of America, and killed it. This supervisor is also very knowledgeable and well versed in every training/conversation I have had with him. Just like any other company we do have our obligations, and if you do not perform well at these over time it will be told to you. Beings that we are a performance based company, you are promoted based on how well you perform. If you want a company that is going to reward you off your work ethic, Tradehome is the place for you. DO NOT COME TO TRADEHOME IF YOU DO NOT HAVE GOOD SELF DISCIPLINE. Our home office and supervisors allow us to run our stores as if they are our own because we are Employee Owned.

Cons

Longer work hours during holiday season. You do have to move on your promotions. This can be a pro or con for some! I love it! Some don’t like the move. It is hard for some people to up and move their life.
