toxic - Anonymous employee Golden Goose Employee Review

Fun atmosphere, cool events, and great employees!

Sometimes super busy, with no AC

Hourly is $25 plus commission; selling 3% of order, artists get 5% of the service price ($130)

PR nightmare waiting to happen. No DEI training, corporate bullying, no one trusts corporate or the managers, no safety training for equipment (500+ degrees, hearing loss), virtual training for artists' offerings - which is impossible to learn from quickly, while also watching the floor, customer interactions, trying to prevent thefts which happens so often. Visiting managers are coming in like they own the place and forcing workers to change ops every week. Everystore is always understaffed, because the company doesn't support their workers, and almost no store actually keeps an artist on staff because of working conditions, safety concerns, and the inability to upcharge for artwork that will take over 30 minutes (the standard appointment time). No career growth opportunities for artists, cannot move up to manager, they force you to stay an artist.
