Pros

Great Vacation days benefits and rarely any black out period which is good for a retail company in America. Easier to transfer to different stores than at most retailers.

Cons

Lack of promotion for managers. Once you reach the manager level the district teams have no interest in developing you. It's all about the store and how you can do more with less while making the same amount. there is never-ending internal promotion process that is more harm than good and leaves people in limbo. They deny people higher positions out of the stores and then don't allow for experience or training to get you to that level so they just hire someone from the outside who doesn't know what they're doing.

Pros

Benefits even for part-timers is a huge win! Sick leave, vacation, and community days. Nice management and really friendly coworkers. Decent employee discount. Diverse and welcoming environment.

Cons

Very stressful work environment considering the low pay. Poorly managed and operated. They clearly try to run lean and do as much work with as few people as possible. Very unprofessional overall and a lot of greenwashing.
