      Could be a really great place!

      Part time associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good with days off you may need. Great customers and associate team members Good discount Hires seasonal associates, but has loyalty to the permanent associates Hours of operation: not too late/not too early (at least for me)

      Cons

      Too many people hired: everyone gets about 4-6 hours a week: why??? No communication from mgt to associates, no one knows what is going on Unprofessional management: they gossip constantly about the district and store team members NO training/no follow up / no development District and regional management very secretive and RUDE!

      Innovation is stifled by internal politics

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Some opportunity to work with modern technologies like Databricks and Kafka. The remote nature of the role provides decent flexibility.

      Cons

      Cultural Gridlock: There is a heavy emphasis on internal politics rather than actual engineering progress. Decision-making is often slow and influenced more by "who you know" than by technical merit. Lack of Innovation: Despite having a modern tech stack, the appetite for real innovation is low. Projects often get bogged down in administrative hurdles and risk-aversion. Management Gaps: There is a noticeable disconnect between upper management and the technical realities of the engineering teams.
