Pros

Great give back company! But that’s all!

Cons

Poor communication from upper management. Our district was with out a leader for 6 months. Given a store that was a problem to begin with and was expected to turn it around 360 degrees during the holiday and short staffed. Shipment every day m-f. Suppose to have 2 mystery shoppers every month muy had 4+ December and 3 in January. Ship from store didn’t even work 50% of the time. Way to much work and no support from anyone. The CEO Aaron just yells about how important secret shops are but 70% of the company is doing bad. Was let go with no reason until I reached out to someone else and was told I wasn’t making numbers which was a lie! Worked the entire holiday season- my team and I busted out behinds and they wouldn’t even give me the bonus which was paid 1 week after I was let go. No communication at all. Not to mention upper management never stepped foot into our stores. Lesson learned, don’t always go for the dream that is put in front of you. Do your research! Oh I didn’t mention I worked 17 open to closes as well!

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.
