Pros

High-involvement management and low-level managers that were interested in getting to know you and interact with you as a person.

Cons

Disconnected upper management that espoused cultural touchstones whilst trying to catch you on small technicalities and enforcing rules to the letter.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We take all employee concerns seriously, as they help us identify areas where we can improve the associate experience. Regarding your comments on compensation, we’d like to clarify that our General Sales associates operate on a commission-based structure. While the base rate is $4.00 per hour, when combined with commissions, the average earnings for our sales team currently come out to around $21.00 per hour company-wide. This model is designed to reward performance, and we regularly evaluate our compensation to ensure it remains competitive. We aim to balance clear standards with a supportive environment, and we will take your feedback into consideration as we continue to refine our approach. Thank you for your time with us.
