Pros

1.) Building a bond with your store team 2.) Select DM’s are fantastic and hands on. 3.) Support from the regional manager 4.) Decent/good benefits

Cons

1.) Low pay for management, must scratch claw and push for every penny from point of hire to promotion 2.) Complete favoritism displayed by higher management, depriving deserving people of the promotion they desperately need. 3.) Will only decide to promote you once you quit... yes, really. 4.) Corporate is literally the biggest waste of space. They don’t support the store teams, and will make you look stupid in front of customers. They have no sense of how to drive traffic (web only Black Friday special? One we aren’t allowed to honor in store? Really?) 5.) They literally do not care about employees. You are solely a number to them.

Pros

Very few. There are some really good people working there, especially middle management and associate level.

Cons

Executives and CEO are extremely unqualified and perpetuate a culture of fear and paranoia. One of the worst cultures at any company I have ever worked for. This is a very cheap company that cuts costs wherever it can at the expense of it's employees. You don't feel like upper management is looking after your best interests. I was a witness to several instances of racism, discrimination, homophobia, and transphobia, which was condoned at the highest levels of the company. For all of these reasons and more, Tillys has the highest turnover rate i've ever experienced at any company! DO NOT WORK HERE!!

Pros

Worked at Tillys for over a year. I honestly can't think of any that I had experienced in my time there.

Cons

They treat their employees like garbage. Everyone talks behind everyone's backs. Managers and District managers don't care how their employees feel when they come to work. All they care about is the money, not how their employees on the front line making the sales feel. I will continue to advise everyone I come in contact with to NEVER work for this company. You will loose you're sense of creativity and freedom in return for a small check and a feeling and demeaning self esteem. Not worth it.
