Pros

You get to interact with and meet a lot of cool people by way of the merchandise that is sold there, you get a decent discount on great products, if you are a hard worker it is noticed by your co workers and select managers

Cons

Managers come and go often, sometimes leaving the store in disarray. There's a lot of "hour watching," and ill-budgeting that causes them to cut hours every week or go over budget and have no hours left at the end of the month. Hiring young managers is a great thing to work with the mostly young employees, but sometimes these young managers really have no idea what they're doing, or they don't act like a manager, they act like a normal kid employee instead of taking their manager role seriously.

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.
