Pros

The best part was my co-workers, discounts, and playing with make-up all day. You get marginal increases in your pay and it does add up over time. My managers were lenient and understanding for the most part. My co-workers and discounts were the best part of the job.

Cons

They do increase your pay as time goes on, which is nice, but it's not much to begin with. I took a lot of strange passive aggression from certain customers and management did not step up for me at times. There is also a culture of favoritism in upward promotion (company-wide). I wasn't looking to move up in the company, but if you are bear that in mind.

Pros

Gratis There are good hard working people that want to do well. I am still there (barely) because I haven’t completely given up that things will be handled/addressed correctly for those not aligned with company vision and expectations. However after 5 years of inaction it’s hard to believe that positive change will actually and maybe just maybe Myself and others that are dedicatedI will be recognized vs taken for granted.

Cons

No furthering development Keep toxic (leaders especially) allowing unacceptable behavior conduct and violation of company code Communication is very poor…it’s inconsistent,For example managers are not provided with direct email accounts so it’s a community email box. This causes a large amount of information to be read by the wrong audience and is not communicated if read by the wrong leader
