Pros

Work is fun, you work with awesome people, and you get to be super active. The incentives for making sales goals are also challenging, but never stressful. The clothing is gorgeous and a pleasure to talk about.

Cons

The company does not practice value for culture in management. Instead, a team of "yogis" is hired, with management that is often poorly representative of company values. Seems more like they just want loving people to be the "face" of the company, rather than the meat. The company preaches support for goals, but takes a step back when those goals come to internal advancement, choosing instead to hire from external interviews.

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!
