Pros

- Interesting industry - Used to attract good and competent people but they unfortunately do not stay very long because of the culture, chaos and lack of career perspective

Cons

- No meritocracy or performance based culture - The strategic direction and organisation is changing constantly ( several times a year) - Numerous organisational structuring ( firing and hiring) leading to waste of time/money/talent/ unexecuted strategies and work - unprofitable company: why join or stay unless there is a possibility to learn a unique skill or grow? - incompetent C-suite

Pros

Strong level of autonomy as a Store Manager to drive the business, implement strategies, and influence sales performance Opportunity to develop leadership skills through team coaching, training, and performance management Emphasis on client experience and building meaningful in-store customer relationships Creative freedom to execute sales-driving initiatives and local events Hands-on ownership of business results, which can be very rewarding for self-motivated leaders

Cons

Limited support from regional and district leadership, particularly in satellite locations, which can feel isolating High turnover due to relatively low pay for Crystal Experts and Assistant Managers Budget constraints make it difficult to recruit and retain experienced, high-performing talent Teams may require significant development due to lower wage tiers, increasing workload and pressure on management Store conditions in some locations feel outdated, with limited investment in remodels or upgrades Compensation structure for hourly roles does not always align with expectations or workload
