Pros

most of the people there are lovely to work with and they will have fun events and organise little things around store for the educators that make it fun

Cons

unfortunately there are biases within the company (or maybe that is just my experience with my specific branch) but there are some full time educators who are gossipy and rude and dare I say, racist, homophobic etc but never get reprimanded (as the store needs them given that they are full timers, and are besties with management/key leaders), and I think key leaders must be experiencing lots of pressure from management, because every check in they'll emphasise on how to make the most money (what happened to guest experience?) and the grifters get awarded of course because at the end of the day its all about money. Key leaders never take any time to ask what they can do differently, it's a lot of blame game on educators if the branch doesnt perform. They also ask about 'clearings' at check ins, which is toxic positivity if you ask me, because they dont care to help in any way they just want you to say it to get it out of the way.

Pros

The benefits with the sweaty Pursuits is good and the insurance is good too! You get a team that you get to put together and get to know them and see what works for you guys to be successful in a processing shift!

Cons

The nights are long and very overworked. They ask a lot from you and usually they put the business before you. It’s always we need this and that from the managers but not actually taking time to help or to actually see that we are trying our best and if they actually worked a shift with us and saw the struggles they would understand more. They think it’s easy, when the weight of the store depends on us. You are also qualified as a Guest Experience lead since you have to do both trainings so the management do over utilise that and you will be doing two jobs. Even though it says in the description to support the floor but there’s a difference between supporting from time to time and doing it all the time where you are running the floor and the back at the same time but they’ll say “oh why isn’t this done?” Maybe because you’ve told me to help you out ? The are also very selective about who moves up to be a manager. No work life balance at all!
