Pros

None-this is a loop of constant stress and manipulation.

Cons

Toxic, Manipulative, Deceitful, Judgmental This is the EPITOME of what you would call...IN IT FOR THE MONEY. I never ever EVER believe in any Christian store unless I am sure they have there heart in it for the right reasons. This establishment uses biblical/faith-based merchandise to sell, sell, sell. They will not have your back, and ultimately, grow to become “perfect”, and in that-there is no such thing. Employer will call you lazy, and have-it-be, will talk negatively behind your back and even in front of you if you are aware. Leave, insanely toxic and brutal. Never step in, they just want your money! I highly recommend those to watch what they want from you, if you are curious to work there, they will not be clear with the exact details of the job, especially if they need help in management and staff. “Are you ready?”, is a common slogan they use to implement the motto of promotion and training. -This method and promotional platform is quite overwhelming, it’s basically having all associates and staff carry too much work and assigning INSANELY particular tasks to a very high standard. AKA-getting away with releasing work on anybody and everybody working to , “prepare and lead in the direction of growth” : which is all nonsense. Unless you drank their sparkle juice walking in with their wings and fairy dust, do NOT work here, or shop! -they use the 5 sense rule, actively targeting the five senses in the atmosphere to garner a better customer experience, to drive up sales, not to get a genuine response. God bless, this mess!

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.
