Pros

Pay, discount was good but clothing is still pricey and giving back.

Cons

Where do i start? Friday company calls were an emotional roller coaster. Some days great and inspirational, something you expect going into the weekend. Other days was a one way yelling match. The things or results could have been private and shared with that store. Not really motivating. Another time the ceo shared that a store manager sent him a thank you email and he stated he choose not to reply because this manager didn’t believe in Gallup and had some other petty comments about said manager. Not real mature or motivating. Store managers are held to a higher standard than others in store and basically just told by their district manager to accept unacceptable behavior because that’s not surprising behavior by said associates. Even though this behavior easily could result in a lawsuit i guess that doesn’t matter. You are asked to take “anonymous” surveys……they are not anonymous so still mind your manners. There is a lot of manipulation and attempts to turn things around on you. Basically if you want to just be told what to do and not share your frustrations, this is for you. And if you want to be told to just ignore behaviors that could result in a lawsuit for the company, you know the rest. I have never felt more disrespected in a company. But here we are.

Pros

Literally nothing, can’t think of one positive thing

Cons

I’ve been with the company for years and watching its continuous downfall has become almost comical. Two years ago we took major pay cuts (like 15%) because of the economy but this year they sent us to the Virgin Islands on this over the top meeting that must have cost a fortune. I’d rather have the money in my bank versus a trip I was forced to go on with senior leadership that are absolute horrific people in general and evil businesses people. It all felt like a big propaganda event with tons of videoing and picture taking so they could come home and post all over linked in and social media about how WONDERFUL it is to work there. Don’t even get me started on the new Little House on the Prairie denim dresses we have to wear because they hire managers that aren’t even strong enough to coach to a dress code. How can you run a store if you can’t even tell someone what they’re wearing inappropriate? Instead now we look like a bunch of little followers of the cult everyone already says it is. As long as we say we “stand out for good” at every opportunity it must mean it’s true right? To know who else brainwashed people into thinking bad things are good for them? CULT LEADERS.
