Pros

Your teammates will easily become your friends. You'll commiserate together.

Cons

CONSTANT re-orgs and churn with ill-defined job roles and expectations. The pay and benefits are not up to industry standard, so the main reason for working here has historically been the company culture, but in recent years that culture has died. Gone are opportunities to advance within, gone are supporting managers that help you grow and learn, gone is real recognition of good work. You find yourself wondering how much longer you will even have a job.

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.
