Pros

Nothing anymore, pay was cut

Cons

Everything. This company went down hill the entire time I worked there. Your life will be gone the minute you sign the offer letter no matter who preaches "work life balance". If you work here, you'll need a therapist between the unrealistic expectations from upper management, and the schedule you will have to adhere to will drown you. The company has a "Voice of the Guest" secret shop score system that instead of using as a tool for learning and bettering the overall experience of the guest which the company promotes doing, it is instead used as a fear tactic where everyday feels daunting, not exciting. With the large unexpected paycuts associates were informed of via email, the turnover rate has SPIKED. The company is now retaliating against those leaving, and placed an effective immediately PTO policy so none of these employees will receive their PTO as formerly agreed upon within the companies prior PTO policy. Many associates are upset with this, but the company forced us all to sign an arbitration agreement in order to be employed (Even if employed prior to policy effective date). With that being said, these employees have no rights to do anything about it and will suffer.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We understand the recent decision about the adjustments in pay and how that has impacted our associates. We believe this decision is the most reasonable path to prioritize job preservation versus eliminating roles.

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.
