Pros

Super fast growing. A company with a lot opportunity, but you have to be willing to work. Love the new commitment to the communities we are in.

Cons

The company is still run like a small company. Would like our managers to do more 1:1 meetings.

Pros

Growing company room for upward growth.

Cons

Store Manager and District Manager treat employees as well as Assistant Store Manager like slaves. Total disregard to scheduling requirements. Sporadic scheduling times makes it hard to have quality of life. Company is a total joke. Worst retail experience I have had in my 20 years in this Industry.
