Pros

Coming from an entrepreneurial background I loved that each store is run on a 'boutique' level. I was able to be involved in many different aspects of running the business such as: visual merchandising, social media (facebook), event planning, networking, designing marketing collateral, etc.

Cons

The pay is simply not enough to support yourself in NYC. The culture of the business absolutely differs from store to store and the store manager absolutely sets the tone. I was not fairly recognized or celebrated for all the hard work and time that I put into my job. It was my pleasure to work 'off the clock' because I was passionate about what I was doing and believed that I was with a company that wanted me to grow and develop. I truly believed that one day it would all work out in my favor. This did not happen.

Pros

The benefits with the sweaty Pursuits is good and the insurance is good too! You get a team that you get to put together and get to know them and see what works for you guys to be successful in a processing shift!

Cons

The nights are long and very overworked. They ask a lot from you and usually they put the business before you. It’s always we need this and that from the managers but not actually taking time to help or to actually see that we are trying our best and if they actually worked a shift with us and saw the struggles they would understand more. They think it’s easy, when the weight of the store depends on us. You are also qualified as a Guest Experience lead since you have to do both trainings so the management do over utilise that and you will be doing two jobs. Even though it says in the description to support the floor but there’s a difference between supporting from time to time and doing it all the time where you are running the floor and the back at the same time but they’ll say “oh why isn’t this done?” Maybe because you’ve told me to help you out ? The are also very selective about who moves up to be a manager. No work life balance at all!
