Pros

Few positives to speak of after my time here.

Cons

This company has significant structural problems that make it a difficult place to grow or thrive. Management at the store level and regional level lacks the experience needed to lead effectively — and rather than addressing this through proper training or support, the company appears to rely heavily on AI-generated content for everything from internal communications to SOPs. The result is documentation that has little connection to actual day-to-day job functions, leaving employees without meaningful guidance. HR is not a resource here. Complaints are not genuinely investigated, and the department consistently defers to store management rather than conducting impartial reviews. There is no real support structure, no empathy from leadership, and no clear path for career growth or advancement.

As a piercer, I was given flexibility and ownership of my role. I got along well with my coworkers, and my input was taken into consideration.

No cons. It was a supportive and collaborative work environment with plenty of room to grow.

Pros

The company is definitely moving to be more communicative and flexible when it comes to feedback and listening to it's employees when it hasn't always been that way in the past. Staffing is now based more on merit than favoritism which led to last minute staffing changes in the past. HR is more present and being utilized correctly.

Cons

Communication can still be improved between the studios and our HQ team. Things will not be communicated or given very last minute which leads to unneeded stress on the studio teams. Benefits have been removed as company grows, which is frustrating. No 401K matching. Reimbursement program was revoked. High turnover rate fleet wide.
