Pros

GREAT discount, some cute clothes (most are very cheap quality), made several great friends, met my best friend here

Cons

Horrible work/life balance. They do not care at all about health in any aspects. Was told mental health is not an excuse. Manager made fun of a girl with a heart condition that had to miss work at her previous store. Openly accused people of fake drs notes. Upper management and corporate hired people to replace others before letting them know their job was up for grabs. They do not care about you at all. I LOVED this job when I first started. I was so sad to have to leave but ultimately this place ruined my mental wellbeing and I had no life outside of work. Management changes always suck, but this one ran everyone that already worked there out. So desperate for workers get treat them all like trash. Everyone talks crap about everyone, including corporate and vp's when they visit. Very unprofessional environment. Hostile work environment. You will be talked to/yelled at constantly. You are not treated as equals or with respect. I would not recommend working at this store to anyone. This company is crazy. Just avoid.

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.
