Pros

stores are nice and upscale, Located in good neighborhoods and areas.

Cons

The owner’s management style created a difficult work environment. She frequently belittled and criticized employees and sales associates, often in front of others. Feedback was usually harsh and offered without clear direction on how to improve. Expectations around work ethic and personal appearance were sometimes communicated in a way that felt personal rather than professional. Communication could escalate to yelling and direct insults. Standards and rules changed frequently, and employees were pressured to push sales to every customer despite there being no commission structure. The environment was high-stress and demanding, and many employees either quit or were let go within a short period of time.

Pros

You learn a lot about cooking, baking and how to appease a narcissist. The staff are all amazing and work hard to make the company successful.

Cons

This company is wildly disorganized. The owner is mentally unwell and treats her staff like second class citizens. She berates people for not wearing the right clothes, being overweight, refusing to be controlled or manipulated, will not listen to feedback about anything. She has been charged with assault and has had a number of lawsuits against her. She does not pay staff according to her philosophy of "living wage". She wears the mask of "nice" but in reality she creates chaos within the company and holds everyone else accountable. She tries to fire people she can no longer control and has made MANY staff cry over the years. She is awful.
