A bad joke

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

A pay check(I would add free candy, but upper management told us we couldn't eat the samples anymore)

Cons

Extremely toxic upper management. You'll be micromanaged, lied to, and put in danger(they let aomeone start working before they cleared their background check, turns out they lied about something and was told to leave the store, this person also had sketchy behavior that made people uncomfortable). Upper management does not give managers the opportunity to lead and develop staff. ALL hiring, firing, and promotions are done by them, which often is mishandled and causes horrible employees to cause chaos and get away with it. Company cares only about its product and not about employees. I would NEVER apply here again!

Company has potential but toxic culture prevails

Sales associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The company itself is ok to work with as long as your team is actually interested in your growth

Cons

Managers can be territorial and cliquish. Nepotism and favoritism is disappointing and unprofessional. So much Information is kept exclusive and not shared to create power dynamics. You won’t learn much, don’t expect fair treatment. Toxic work culture with everyone talking behind everyone’s back for the sake of gossip.
