      Pros

      Employee discount, free clothes when you start.

      Cons

      Upper management micro manages you until you can't vreathe, buy team is terrible, freight is terrible, HR will not handle any upper management issues as they are all playing favorites. They refuse to use positive reinforcement for anything. You make great money but 1 metric is off and you aren't a teachers pet, they will come for you like you never believe. Unrealistic expectations. They will blatantly tell you for performance reviews that you meet expectations at most that exceeding and exceptional are unattainable. People are miserable. It's beyond toxic.

      Pros

      Compared to my prior employer, the workload is much reduced while the pay is a substantial increase. I feel that store and District leadership is a lot more willing to back you up compared to Prior employers I've had, and there is a good amount of freedom to be had. The company is also expanding so the opportunity for growth is also higher than with other Industries right now.

      Cons

      The company seems to be a bit schizophrenic at the moment when it comes to certain things and operations are suffering to a degree because of it.
