Pros

•Discounts are good. •Monthly perks are helpful.

Cons

•Extremely racist company - if you are dark skinned and actually manage to get a position here it’s only because they need to put up a temporary front. The manager told me “ALL blacks are thief's and need to be watched at all times.” •High sales goals for basic pay with no benefits. •They put you at part-time with full time hours so they don’t have to offer benefits. •HR will not support you or investigate harassment cases, they protect management regardless of the situation. •HORRIBLE policy management. •Time and attendance policy gives NO room for real life situations, verified illnesses, Family crises and emergencies. UNLESS you are management, they do what they want regardless. •”Strict policy against retaliation” is never enforced. •If your are not one of the top sales performer they give you bare minimum hours. •The time I was employed there I was the stores top sales performer, there was no benefits or pay raise at all. They do not appreciate their sales reps.

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.
