Pros

Last of a dying breed. In this retail market there are few private companies that are still trying this hard to make it. Gotta respect their perseverance when competition is fierce. Great pro-deals and employee discounts. With that said....

Cons

They don't pay you enough to even use your pro-deal discounts. Research locations, many are in high class neighborhoods with high costs of living. There is no consideration in pay for local cost of living. None. If you weren't insanely overworked (as an underpaid salaried employee) then you had no stability in your hours or work schedule. You could easily be asked to work a shift and then be sent home after a couple of hours because there weren't enough customers. Both situations are not in-line with empowering women and promoting any type of financial independence The retail employees (from sales associates to managers) are treated by HQ like an afterthought and are literally given less resources than the web and catalog sales because those areas are their "bread and butter". They do not set you up for success because there is no training for anyone. They throw you into chaos expecting you to work incredibly long hours with very little pay and minimal support. They under stock store inventory and don't really care that you are the ones constantly explaining to customers, "We don't have that size, or that color, or that style, or that option... But we can order it and charge you shipping."(?!) Then you are blamed for not working hard enough when sales goals are not reached. But hey! You get to wear yoga pants to work...No thanks. Perhaps things have changed there. I sure hope so.

Pros

+Great workplace culture +Workouts at work! +A kind and caring workplace +Good benefits, including 401(k) matching +Encouragement of carpooling/transit/biking +The warm and wonderful feeling of working for a company that really lives its values. The team supports and encourages women-owned businesses, and helps them grow.

Cons

Occasionally the scrappiness can feel a little disorganized. On the whole though, it's so much less chaotic than other places I've worked. Ultimately, it's retail. No one is getting rich. But getting paid a fair wage to work at a terrific company that really recognizes people's humanity and celebrates success feels like a fair trade.

Pros

-Title Nine's brand values are clearly reflected in how they treat their employees and everyone believes in the company's mission -I've worked for several companies and this is truly the best culture by a landslide: everyone genuinely likes one another and it's fun to come to work, there's a collaborative/team environment, a culture of experimentation, fun activities throughout the year, lunchtime workouts, indoor gym & showers, two pickleball courts at the office, WFH Fridays -Lots of opportunities for growth & visibility -Teams aren't siloed: plenty of cross-functional knowledge-sharing & collaboration -Title Nine prioritizes internal promotions over outside hires and there isn't a high turnover rate - people stay here for a long time

Cons

-We're very scrappy, so you end up wearing a lot of hats and it's not uncommon to take on new responsibilities that weren't initially part of your job scope -Title Nine is privately owned & has no outside funding so they can't always compete with salaries at other huge companies -Bonuses are based on company performance rather than individual performance & are all or nothing: everyone gets a bonus or no one gets a bonus
