Pros

You get discounts (30%-40%) with additional gratis items that you can get each month, usually after a $5-$10 buy in. You’re encouraged to wear cute and stylish clothing and to show off the merchandise (example: bodysuit tucked into pants with a blazer) but you can dress business casual as well.

Cons

Employers do not respect your time. There is no communication between managers. Your schedule will change day to day without notice and you will receive penalties for being late even though they didn’t communicate any schedule changes. They’ll work you super hard with promises of promotions that will likely never come. Opportunities to advance are not shared openly. You have to inquire about anything you want to know. It always felt like management was keeping secrets from staff. Actually, this would make sense if that was the case considering how horrible the PR is for the company. Get ready for customers to ask you questions about your advertisements that are either inappropriate or over your head. You will get s*xually harassed by teenagers AND grown adults due to the job you have, and you’ll have to routinely deter people from stealing.

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.
