Pros

Surrounded by great clothes and fashion sense. The store keeps you in a positive mindset. The employee discount is GREAT and employees get an allotment to spend on work clothes.. free! :) Amazing.

Cons

Unpredictable hours. Scheduling conflicts are unforgiving. Short work shifts. Meal breaks are unpaid. Dress code is strict (head to toe)

Pros

There are a lot of talented, hardworking people at this company, which makes recent leadership decisions even more frustrating.

Cons

Communication around major organizational changes has been vague and inconsistent, leaving employees with significant uncertainty and little confidence in the direction of the business. Morale has declined considerably. Many employees feel that years of experience, performance, and institutional knowledge are being undervalued in favor of rigid policies and top-down decision making.
