Pros

The best thing about working for the company is the people you work with, and gaining customer service skills. It is a great opportunity to earn how to engage with other people, gain people skills, and interact with different types of individuals, mainly women, but sometimes men.

Cons

Management is hardly ever steady, so the stores have its ups and downs, a lot of transitioning, and it seems difficult to develop. Expectations for associates are set high, especially for fitting room associates, with the lack of sales floor coverage payroll is allotted. The illusion of the opportunity to move up within the company seems almost as if they congratulate you and recognize you so you will stay with the company as long as possible, because the more knowledge one has about the company and its products, the better they are at selling their products.

Pros

Have met some amazing coworkers. Brand itself is fun.

Cons

Sudden Return to Work mandate 3 days in NY or OH SIX years after COVID. Any current employees outside of those states are being let go if they don’t uproot their lives and relocate. Many employees in those states built their lives around what seemed to be a permanent remote flexibility arrangement (most companies went back in 23). When Hillary Super came on she even stated in one of her first Q&A’s on remote work that where people do their jobs wasn’t a big concern for her as long as we continued to drive the business forward. The business is doing the best it ever has in the last five years. Leadership reasoning for mandate is continuing to fall flat. Mandate came absolutely out of NOWHERE.
