Pros

Awesome atmosphere. Growing company lots of opportunity to move up I've been promoted twice. You can actually meet and communicate with your DM and DVM, even the RM and RLPM, they know who you are! Our district feels like a family I can call the other stores for help or w.e it is

Cons

I know i get paid more than others in my position but it is still not that great for the amount of responsibility I have as an ASM. The SM is a moron and has no leadership skills. Management is NOT professional Lack of proper training for both associates and management. Lower volume stores asked to do the same workload but with less time (and less pay) No OT Whoever makes the visual updates is an idiot. Product is always very late. They want you to fold chiffon on tables. NO. And don't Photoshop it because you know that table is physically impossible. Promotions need to be more clear cut. POS is GARBAGE it is SLOW and my cashier's need help because it freezes and other issues Raises take too long. Retro takes too long. Get it together.

Pros

- Enjoyed working with teens/young adults and building them up into the workforce/ teaching them responsibilities -Policies were awesome, but not always backed by upper management - Always pushing you to be better

Cons

- Upper management did not have equal expectations of stores/ lacked clear communication -PAY, they will pay someone who is hired external far more then they ever will an internal. Doesn’t matter how long you’re there. I was trained from a seasonal, all the way up and made far less than newer peers. They do not see as much value in internals which is so unfortunate for them. Did my 8 years and have a lot of resentment over this.
