Pros

The friends you make and education received on new make up.

Cons

Store managers do NOT do what they are suppose to do as managers and corporate has no clue that they have incompetant managers running their crapy stores! I would advice other young adults seeking work to run away from this place. Very unprofessional, managers will belittle you and tell you that you don't look nice enough to work there. They will even criticize your hair!

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
