Pros

50 % off employee discount but even then the clothes are normally really cheap quality you could get the same thing on shein. Manager pay is decent brand rep pay is awful though.

Cons

no training whatsoever, the vps and higher ups are never on the same page. I have never been so disrespected by a store leader that was promoted with zero qualifications, NO DEGREE or leader experience before. Promises are rarely kept. You must get everything in writing if you want them to actually do something about it. This company does not care about the employees. Makes you do so much but doesn't give you what you need to do well but then it's your fault when it fails. Don't have much of a life outside work because the hours are insane. You get one weekend off a month yet I have yet to get a full weekend off. I have to fight to actually get my benefits and when I do i get told well the company says we will be busy starting that week.

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.
