Pros

The office is close to the beach, you can wear casual clothing, there are nice people, locker room and showers are nice.

Cons

The company pushes well-being of its employees but doesn't follow through on what they say, A lot of inexperienced management who have simply been with the company for 10 years who started working in the store and have been thrown into their roles, they rely heavily on a program called "Landmark" which is on the cult watch list and considered an illegal organization in France, they don't pay well, management is always under a lot of stress which impacts individual contributors, high turnover, a lot of competing type A personalities which creates a lot of conflicts, you will have to work in the stores a few times a quarter, a lot of departments lack the bandwidth needed to achieve their goals — it makes for a lot of late nights, meetings all the time which leaves you no time to do any work, benefits arn't good. Bonuses are based on annual goals you have to accomplish - these goals are usually things that have nothing to do with your work.

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!
