Pros

You will meet some of the best people you could ever meet, in your co-workers and the store guests. Great development tools. I worked for the company for over 5 years, Christine Days departure left a big gap, I hope this company continues to define itself and hire great people.

Cons

Compensation is a true roadblock. You cannot invest those amount of hours for this pay. This company has many many benefits, these will outweigh the financials initially, but it's tough to see so many talented people working for such sub-standard pay. The annual review system is based on the subjective feedback of current management. There are very few objective measures. As this is a very woman-led business, harness this. Women are tremendous leaders don't just send your managers on retreat after retreat. This isn't realistic, incest in your entire teams, help them feel valued. They are hiring younger and younger this isn't a terrible thing by any means, it just lends itself to a lack of experience which shows.

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!
