Pros

Nothing I can say about this company would be a positive

Cons

I have worked for several major retailers throughout my career and this is the first job/company I have felt the need to write a review for or express to others to stay away from this place! I have seen multiple companies have bad reviews but just be a normal retail place to work, but trust me I’m with everyone on this one. Trust the reviews for this company!! This by far has been the most unprofessional workplace I have ever been in. There is zero training and no one in higher up positions are on the same page about anything. I had a store manager tell me to disregard anything I was told my upper management to only listen to her. My last month working here I was not treated as a human being. In fact I was disrespected by our store leader on multiple occasions. On day 2 of meeting her she threatened my job before she even got to know me at all, told me that she could not help me when I didn’t get paid out my pto, threw away my personal belongings without even asking, and continuously texted me about work in the middle of the night when I had to be at work at 4 am the next day, texted me on my pto multiple times and even texted me about work on my actual wedding day. And this is just a sample of the things that happened in the month that she was there. She pushed every leader out the door when she arrived. And it doesn’t just go up to store leadership but higher ups in the company. I even had a VP be disrespectful to me when I brought up a real concern that I was feeling. This company will not treat you with respect and kindness at all. I would highly recommend to stay away from working here.

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.
