Pros

Discount on overpriced clothes that fall apart

Cons

Everyone in the company just took a 10-30% pay cut!!!! From home office to store leaders to sales associate!!!! Stay away from this company!!! It is a sinking ship!!! Expectations are too high with failed secret shops and bad customer reviews getting people fired on the spot to be taking away our money!!!

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts as well as your concerns. We understand how our recent decision to implement pay adjustments may have affected you and all of our associates. This was not an easy decision, but a decision we strongly believe was most reasonable in lieu of eliminating positions entirely. We will continue to place an emphasis on career development as well as advancement opportunities for our current associates.

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.
