Pros

Primarily surrounded by motivated, entrepreneurial young professionals. Talented and forward-thinking tech and marketing teams. Great concept and client-appreciated service.

Cons

While there are some stand-outs in terms of management and leadership at the senior level especially, there is a great opportunity for training and development from the sales to management transition. Environment can be explicitly catty, childish and unprofessional. Management is not an inherent skill for many, and as Trunk Club grows, it would behoove them to heighten training measures for individuals new to these roles. People work for managers, not companies.

Pros

Decent base pay, somewhat autonomous, great tip potential.

Cons

The company has changed for the worse since COVID. When I came back the mood of the entire store had shifted. Gone were the days of comradery, customer focus, and taking pride in a job well done. In its place there is a new culture of cutthroat sales, a severe decline in customer focus, and worst of all a new focus on profit over customer satisfaction. When I was told that the amount the store charged for a shoe shine was not enough to do the best job I could for a customer I knew things had gone downhill for the company. Not to mention I watch a manager prey on a mentally disabled person in order to secure a sale, when the person could not understand what was being offered. Sad that such a once great company is now just another greed ridden corporation.
