Great clothes, great discount Co-workers are supportive

Cons

Embarrassingly low pay Incompetent and rude managers 3 General Managers since I have worked here No one from corporate cares about the store, only sales Fire women coming back from maternity leave The really great managers have left - the ones who sit around and play makeup in the office are still there

Pros

Very black & white on policies. You always know what is right or wrong.Operationally strong company that allows movement between brands. Decent pay if you advocate for yourself as an external, but don’t expect much once you’re in.

Cons

Company has changed direction so much since COVID. Seems like there’s no clear idea on who we are anymore.Senior leadership feels like a revolving door that only succeeds in spinning tires with no traction. We love to initiate something only to either sunset it months later or leave it in limbo(WellPro). The amount of stress pushed on stores to meet credit goals is absurd to the point it inspires unethical behaviors in certain stores.
