Pros

There is a great deal of opportunity there if you can rise above the fray. High growth aspirations, highly profitable. Opportunities to create and build.

Cons

Most executive leadership is extremely underqualified for their positions. Everyone is afraid of the CEO. Lots of love given to anyone in creative department as that runs the company. Back office functions have to scrap for what is leftover. HR is a significant challenge to deal with and is a revolving door.

Pros

The team you get to work with and grow with is the best part of the job. If you’re into the product, the employee discount is solid I suppose.

Cons

Near zero chance for career growth with this company, within the retail store itself or moving up to corporate. The company has been subject to frequent layoffs and “restructuring”. The retail store has had three different general managers (so far). There are associates that have been part time for years, yet working full time hours, receiving no benefits. The retail store doesn’t utilize its workers properly. Good, solid workers have jumped ship completely due to burnout, being stepped on, management refusing to correct toxic workplace behavior, and selective coaching. You’re promised the opportunity to grow, but denied the development to make that a reality.
