Pros

Met some great people who work in store

Cons

Extremely overworked, working 9-6 or 11.30-8-30 without given the opportunity to have a break. Immensely overbooked everyday to the point of a mental breakdown. Expected to go beyond your role while the people that hold higher job titles sit back and relax. Pretends they’re above board but really operating illegally behind the scenes without any professional knowledge. They run talent through fear of retaliation with strict non competes. Illegally docking pay and sent further proof of them illegally docking my pay. Made to work in poor conditions, bypassing any health and safety laws. Some days would be so hot, staff would throw up in the summer. along came the winter which subsequently, was so cold that you’d have to wear multiple jackets as well as machinery freezing over rendering them useless and forced to bypass the sterilisation methods the company so highly upholds publicly. When reaching out to the corporate team, they just gaslight you and tell you what they think you want to hear. Made to come into work with a positive covid test and bypassed all covid restrictions in store leaving staff at high risk of contracting covid. When other members of staff communicated to corporate they had positive covid tests, the corporate team would not relay the information to any of the staff that were exposed to that member of staff.

Pros

You will be hired at a competitive salary (pro), but yearly reviews and raises are not guaranteed.

Cons

Creative - The constant resistance to change has suffocated innovation and it shows in the outdated messaging. After being repeatedly shown that new ideas aren’t welcome, the creative team has been forced to recycle the same tired designs for years. Photoshoots may happen once a year. Culture - Morale is at an all-time low, and the office culture—though never strong—has become a dark shadow of what it once was. Without warning or explanation, the entire marketing team was laid off in a day. Months later, no direction has been provided for next steps. Any indication of who now manages any of the marketing channels has never been provided. Logic does not play any part in decisions to drive revenue or expand the customer base. Milestones are never mentioned. Holidays are not celebrated. Sadly, anyone with talent has moved on. Technology - Budget does not get allocated for efficiency. Rather, it gets dumped into legacy systems that can’t withstand the growth of the business. Quality of Product - Check the sites that allow reviews.
