Pros

If you are willing to become Ocean or Duke (their version of an unrealistic muse) be willing to fit in; even with individuals whom you may not get along with. If you are willing to work on a cult-like atmosphere then you'll fit in just fine. There are some incredible people you'll work with, but they are few and far between. The discount is killer especially if your working full time which many are not given the opportunity to do so. For example: full time employee get 60% off regular priced items and 75% off mark-down items. You also get reimbursement for your favorite place to sweat which is pretty cool. Once again, it's better to be a full time employee; $200 reimbursement versus part-time employees who only get $100.

Cons

Be prepared to work every single weekend! They claim work life balance but this is NOT the case. If you want to take time off be prepared to feel guilty. It's all about "team", until it benefits or does not benefit the management team, then it's all about them. The atmosphere is definitely cult-like. If you do not fit in at the beginning it can be difficult to find your footing with in the team. Being a favorite of the management team will get you far!

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!
