Pros

-Great Benefits (Healthcare, 401k, etc.) -Sustainable and competitive business model for brick and mortar Storefronts -Opportunity to make creative displays -First dibs on the best products

Cons

-Lots of physical labor (I was averaging 30,000 steps a day) -poor work/life balance due to scheduling (not even the store manager has a good schedule) -Exposure to chaotic customers/crime rings/coworkers -Weirdly elitist higher up the food chain. -Bonus structure for managers doesn't match the accountability imposed on them. -Credit Card sales perks don't match the effort put into them. -Since it's a floating department space depending on inventory levels, fixtures should be designed to be more mobile and usable. The heavy wooden shelves don't make sense if you have to adjust on a daily basis.

Pros

Good pay and flexible hours

Cons

The workplace culture felt highly driven by informalities, which often made it difficult to resolve issues professionally. Management responses to workplace concerns often felt inconsistent, and similar incidents appeared to be handled differently depending on the individuals involved. Employee morale appeared low, and turnover seemed higher than expected during my time there. Lack of support during peak periods and backroom inefficiencies. The work environment felt unsustainable due to unresolved management issues, communication breakdowns, and inconsistent handling of workplace conflicts.
