Pros

Great employees and coworkers within the store. Definitely make the retail industry much more fun.

Cons

Corporate literally does not care about its store associates. They do not care about how their practices and look books are taken in each store - even though most of the time product does not arrive in time and corporate visits do not go well because of this. They just need to do a better job of knowing what it is like to work in the store, because corporate leaders have absolutely no idea and it shows.

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.
