Pros

- Competitive pay - Leaders are willing to look at all aspects of a situation before making a decision

Cons

- Promote people way too fast and not ready for their role! - Holidays are just about gone due to wanting more money - No payroll or hands to do tasks. Leaders are expected to be on the floor doing tasks but then held accountable for not getting leadership things done. - Talent management is only done when ready to promote otherwise poor performers are left forever.

Pros

If you are looking for a job that you’ll be a part of a fun team environment, have the ability to learn all about customer “guest” service, retail operations and sales, as well as merchandising even at entry level great opportunity. for such a large corporation I have been pleasantly surprised by how tight knit teams are. applying was okay, there were multiple steps (videos, assessments) but overall not too bad)., phone call and then video questions before hiring.

Cons

Pay isn’t great, but for the market it’s fair. Moving up involves a much larger increase in responsibilities and workload relative to the pay increase.
