Pros

Good variety of work. Individuals can be very supportive. Discount is nice and bonus payout past two years, but can't count on it every year.

Cons

Leadership is demanding AI usage whether it makes sense for the work you're doing or not. Culture of fear developing that's leading to more siloing and burnout. Backfill has been rare the past couple of years so most teams are understaffed, and corporate DEI efforts in tech have tapered off. Office does not have enough space for everyone but they're requiring 4 days in office.

Pros

Decent base pay, somewhat autonomous, great tip potential.

Cons

The company has changed for the worse since COVID. When I came back the mood of the entire store had shifted. Gone were the days of comradery, customer focus, and taking pride in a job well done. In its place there is a new culture of cutthroat sales, a severe decline in customer focus, and worst of all a new focus on profit over customer satisfaction. When I was told that the amount the store charged for a shoe shine was not enough to do the best job I could for a customer I knew things had gone downhill for the company. Not to mention I watch a manager prey on a mentally disabled person in order to secure a sale, when the person could not understand what was being offered. Sad that such a once great company is now just another greed ridden corporation.
