Pros

Starting wage is decent Doesn't ask for too much experience to get hired there Does great with transferring people to and from other stores They do yearly reviews on employees and you get a raise depending on performance

Cons

Management is very male oriented, at least at my location The company is tough on their employees(including management) and asks a lot from them, which can be stressful sometimes A lot of favoritism But most of this is typical in retail positions

Pros

- Unlimited PTO with 401k match is awesome

Cons

- Performance expectations were often unclear or inconsistently communicated, Feedback was reactive instead of timely and actionable. - Leadership quality varied dramatically by manager, with limited coaching or mentorship. - Constant shifting priorities without adjusting expectations or workload. - Psychological safety was lacking, Honest communication feel risky. - Leadership messaging around culture didn't match day-to-day reality. - Process was often valued more than impact or results. - Compensation well below market, w/little flexibility during negotiations. - I felt excluded from key conversations and opportunities that were important to my success.
