      Pros

      They are a give back company that donates to hundreds of organizations every year. Pay is above average for retail. Good discount.

      Cons

      Where do I start? There is a complete and total disregard for work life balance. The workplace is emotionally and mentally draining and toxic, and not because of the store team, but because of the way upper management (at the district level) treats store leaders and the rest of the team. Employees are not given equal opportunity for growth. Employees are NOT treated fairly by upper management and they are ignored when they bring up valid concerns. Furthermore, even after taking concerns above the district level, to the corporate level, employees are still ignored and nothing gets resolved.

      Pros

      Literally nothing, can’t think of one positive thing

      Cons

      I’ve been with the company for years and watching its continuous downfall has become almost comical. Two years ago we took major pay cuts (like 15%) because of the economy but this year they sent us to the Virgin Islands on this over the top meeting that must have cost a fortune. I’d rather have the money in my bank versus a trip I was forced to go on with senior leadership that are absolute horrific people in general and evil businesses people. It all felt like a big propaganda event with tons of videoing and picture taking so they could come home and post all over linked in and social media about how WONDERFUL it is to work there. Don’t even get me started on the new Little House on the Prairie denim dresses we have to wear because they hire managers that aren’t even strong enough to coach to a dress code. How can you run a store if you can’t even tell someone what they’re wearing inappropriate? Instead now we look like a bunch of little followers of the cult everyone already says it is. As long as we say we “stand out for good” at every opportunity it must mean it’s true right? To know who else brainwashed people into thinking bad things are good for them? CULT LEADERS.
