Pros

It was not always such a disappointing experience. I spent many years working for the brand and felt passionately about it. My leadership style handled the pressure and stress in the environment well however It is not suitable for most. Once I decided to weigh the cost and benefit of my experience with Stand Out for Good I respectfully parted ways, although I intended to continue my career with this company for many years. The employees deserve raises, not pay cuts.

Cons

-Growth opportunities do not come with pay/support -Poor communication on all levels of the leadership structure -Higher-level leadership is poor -Significant pay cuts -Company bites off more than they can chew and internal guests suffer because of it (Ex: investing in extensions of the brand that bleed money such as Arula and not hitting unrealistic targets therefore the staff pays via eliminated bonus structure and pay cuts) -Began slacking on standards as the company appears to be going under (Ex: diminishing quality of hire, elimination of Gallup assessments, high turnover rate due to lack of investment in internal guests, improper payroll delegation)

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.
