      Amazing Company To Work For

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Low pressure (like working in a toy store, but for adults) - Amazing benefits (wholesale prices on products) - Great culture, very little to do with the corporate culture that makes so many retail chains a miserable place to work

      Cons

      - Pushed to sell memberships (its a co-op, so it's a good deal, but some are resistant no matter what) - Retail hours (weekends/holidays)

      Experience Based on Manager

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Benifits, employee purchase and prodeal variety. work/life balance. Most coworkers are passionate.

      Cons

      Management Machine-soul purpose is to produce more managers from within, sadly once someone is a manager, they hardly get fired even if they've had 10+ complaints from staff. False sense of respect to other's ideas. Had 3 different store managers in a 2.5yr period and the vibe of the store reflects that.
