Pros

The culture is amazing… it’s unbeatable what they do. Their goals to be the best version of them selves is phenomenal! The coaching and leadership that is in the store has been the best I’ve seen in any job I have worked. I feel very welcome, I am able to ask many questions without feeling like I am stupid, when I do something wrong there is never a time I feel cornered or scolded. It’s an adult to adult real conversation about how I should fix the situation and we move on both best then ever.

Cons

The only cons I have for my position specifically is I wish we had more to do. I can’t speak for any of my colleagues but where there is down time, often times we stand around and I don’t like standing around as much…
