Pros

Business relationships and networking. Sales development and employee training

Cons

Stores are consistently overworked and understaffed, with little recognition from district leadership. There appears to be favoritism among peers and a lack of loyalty toward long-tenured employees. Sales goals and budget expectations are unrealistic and disconnected from store level realities. You will feel like you don’t matter and they don’t care.

Pros

Support and promote AI in the workplace

Cons

No work/life balance No raises No matching 401k, they turn it on and off at will Work 9-5, noon lunch. If you need to arrive later or leave early you need to request it and schedule the time off Horrible CEO, Heidi $25M in 2025 and no accountability for poor performance RTO is horrible policy Not treated like adults Lack much parking as well as very expensive VPs up get all the perks, forget anyone else I went from loving SW to disliking it all in a year.
