Pros

The other work mates, (APART FROM MANAGEMENT.) The 50% off staff discount.

Cons

Management is shockingly bad, other than the Senior leads the other Team Leads don't seem to have a clue what is going on. Team members know more about the store than Leads and yet the leads are getting paid more. They offshore their tasks to team members when they can't be bothered to do them theirselves. Some team leads genuinely have no knowledge of anything about the company and it is shocking how they got their jobs to begin with but it is no surprise when they all seemed to know each other previously working at Nike together. It's all a bunch of nepotism and it is disgusting. Meant to be an inclusive company but they have staff that tell female staff that if they work out their arms they won't be attractive to men anymore. There is NO communication between anyone in the company so no one knows what is going on at any point and when asking Team Leads you get a response of "Why would I know they don't tell us anything". Unless you have a morning shift you are unlikely to be able to have much of a social life if you're working 2-10 every shift. Staff are very unhappy with the excessive micro managing by leads, no one is listening to staff with their reasonable complaints. About to be a lot of turnovers if nothing is fixed. Good luck to anyone wanting to work here, joke of a company.
