Pros

The company absolutely prioritizes its people, and offers great benefits and perks (health insurance for anyone above 24 hrs/week, 401k, employee share, money for fitness classes, amazing discount). This people first mentally helps with employee retention, so the teams are more tenured and high performing.

Cons

There is very much the expectation that you need to "live into" your next role. This frequently looks like taking on all the responsibilities of that next role without the change in title or pay. While small opportunities here and there are helpful, I certainly felt taken advantage of during my time with the company. I spent the better part of two years as the "acting Store Manager" without the actual job title or increase in pay.

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!
