      If you want to be happy, don’t work at this store

      Pros

      You will meet some great people

      Cons

      The store manager there is a nightmare. I have never met someone who has failed upward so spectacularly as this man. He is, inappropriate, vindictive and has created a culture of fear in the store. Managers are not trained properly in coaching or HR policies. There are multiple OSHA violations all over the store. Employees are constantly stressed, crying, and fear being retaliated against for reporting issues of safety. You will never get pay that is commiserate with the cost of living/ if you do, know you will never have weekends off and your schedule revolves around retail sales.

      Land Acknowledgments and Union Busting

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Lovely Co-workers Great perks if you love the outdoors Good work life balance

      Cons

      Inauthenticity and hypocrisy - Leadership makes a big thing about being multi-cultural antiracist organization but senior management and C Suit are predominantly white people. No amount of Land Acknowledgments and conspicuous declaration of pronouns can paper over managements ongoing union busting and anti-labor directives. You can't start a Black people focused product line, hire no black people to design or work on it, cancel it in its first year when it doesn't sell as well as you'd like, and then call it Mission Accomplished. "Look how much we did for the black community." MMWTBS. They claim they have a quadruple bottom line but when it comes to it the real bottom is and always has been profit.
