Hard to branch out.

Pros

The only pro I can think of is that the pay of okay. Nothing else. However, at the end of the day you are still breaking your back.

Cons

One con I have about this company is the limited mobility into corporate roles. I have worked here for five years and earned my bachelor’s degree in Marketing with the goal of transitioning into the corporate office to apply my education. I have applied to corporate positions multiple times and have spoken with HR representatives, but I have not been selected and even been denied a few time without ever given the chance to interview. At the same time, when I express interest in moving up within store operations, such as pursuing a management position, that path is strongly encouraged. It can feel discouraging when advancement into corporate roles seems significantly more difficult, despite having relevant education and long-term company experience. Because of this, I would not recommend the company for individuals seeking growth beyond in-store career paths.
