Pros
- Great Discount - Positive work Environment - Great Co Workers - Understanding management - All the tea you can drink
Cons
- Lots is changing throughout the company, that isn't communicated to staff or customers well- so lots of confusion overall - very very sales focused, and that is the #1 priority overall.
Advice to Management
I think the company is great, overall. I just think ensuring clear and consistent information is available to both the team and the customers at all times. When you guys discontinued all the teas, the list we got was only about half the teas you retired- and that caused MAJOR issues for everyone at the front line.

Pros
A lot of communication between head-office and stores. Plenty of internal promotions. performance bonuses.
Cons
Miscommunications & lack of training/follow ups.
Advice to Management
Take the time to train your ASMs as managers instead of giving them interim positions while waiting to find actual managers externally, and just allowing them to stay as managers after a while, still missing valuable & important trainings.

Pros
Awesome Products Amazing Upper Management who care about everyone Incredible growth opportunities Awesome discount Competitive pay Good benefits
Cons
More admin work than time is allotted for so you will have to work at home occasionally Communications are all over the place
Advice to Management
Streamline the communication coming from SSC to the stores It would be great to see some of the in-store tools go paperless and be on a tablet instead of still referring to old books and papers.
