A unique retail experience that changed my life...and my views on furniture.
Pros
I will never forget my time at Lovesac. It was such a unique company to be apart of for 2 years. I had many opportunities to collaborate business plans and ideas with the CEO, founder, and HQ team--they even gave me their personal cell phone numbers! Lovesac intrigued me from my first interview. Each employee (part-time up the ladder to the director of retail stores) was so passionate about the company. I worked for 4 other big retailers before my time at Lovesac--however, Lovesac changed every negative opinion I previously had about retail management. The founder, CEO, and HQ team gave me the opportunity to manage my stores with "common sense and good taste" among many other unique core values and company best practices. I never felt micro-managed and I was never overwhelmed with unnecessary "busy work" projects. My colleagues were all dedicated and hard working go-getters that inspired me to become better. Every market manager and manger was an entrepreneur. Lovesac is a team of extremely talented, driven, and passionate employees. The product...well, stop into any Lovesac store and I'm sure one of the above mentioned employees will demonstrate it much better than my words could explain. Trust me...it's amazing and comfy!
Cons
With such an amazing product...rapid growth is inevitable. The con in that situation is that it could lead to a disconnect between the upper-management and retail management on the front lines of the business. However, Lovesac has an amazing CEO and founder who are extremely involved in every aspect of their business and I honestly doubt they would permit that to happen.
