Pros

No dress code. some cool employees.

Cons

Where do I even begin? There is no custodian, so bathrooms are constantly disgusting. No soap. No toilet paper. Floors and toilets and "kitchen area" are always dirty unless they convince one of the factory workers to go clean them all. Fridge always has spoiled food in it, even after they started "cleaning it out each friday". If it's 20 degrees or 20 below zero, they don't care. The heat will barely and never be on. It's normal to see coats to be worn inside while working. Sure there were donut days (didn't last long) and are occasional cakes for people's birthdays, but in general "bosses" and owners could care less about you. They make that very clear through turnover, lack of cleanliness, warmth and complete lack of communication. Assignments are always a big question mark for due dates and even who is taking lead on each one. Forget fair compensation, raises and definitely bonuses. Not going to happen. Little to no growth or even respect here. Terrible management.

Pros

You can make great connections with customers, selling focused culture.

Cons

The most unprofessional company I have ever worked for. They thrive in breaking you down and overworking you. The upper management expects a store to run seamlessly with no store manager or Assistant manager. They run this store like a high school and have unrealistic expectations that need to get met or “the whole team will get replaced”. I noticed early on that this was not a company that I wanted to work for when we had to take mandatory calls that are unpaid, schedules not being completed till the week of and changing last minute, zero positive feedback and constantly receiving rude comments from upper management. Multiple people have quit and or got fired and no one is being replaced is a huge red flag. They pick and choose who they want to hold accountable/fire. So if you aren’t liked you will end up getting fired. Overall not a company that you can have a work life balance in. They want you to eat,sleep,breathe Akira without the right compensation.
