Pros

Always busy in terms of workload, and new items are being introduced. The employees are focused on serving the members. There is a great deal of accountability in terms of performance on all levels. Employees are encouraged to be creative and arrive at new ideas. Employees are friendly and building relationships is easy.

Cons

Not enough full time positions, most are part time. Lines are long at the checkout. Managers are slow to respond. At times there is a lot of micro-managing. Communication is lacking from teamleads to workers. Often there are not enough employees to run the store efficiently. Employees are asked to work in positions that they are not trained in. More interested in quantity than quality in service, products and employee expectations.

Pros

At the corporate level, the benefits and compensation are excellent. Colleagues at the producer level are standout teammates, talented, collaborative, and genuinely invested in the company's success. They consistently bring forward meaningful contributions and make the day-to-day work rewarding.

Cons

"Chaos" is not a word I'm using loosely. It's the word echoed across teams, including outside of Experience and Product. Leadership operates in a constant state of upheaval: frequent role changes, structural reorganizations, and strategy pivots that are implemented without any clear plan or consideration of cross-team impact. Incredibly talented people are let go as a result of poor leadership and people management decisions. There is no real culture of mentorship above the senior manager level. Leadership above the senior manager level made clear that mentorship isn't their responsibility and that you're expected to figure it out on your own, despite the company having training resources available. That disconnect is telling.
