Pros

Exposure to yoga and fitness classes. Discount.

Cons

Young, immature and inexperienced employees, especially Managers. Lack of balance especially at Manager and Regional Manager level. Working 12-14 hour days is normal without eating and taking 3-4 classes. Information passed down from the Corporate level is very often contradictory. You are immediately judged by your Regional Manager the first minute you meet her, so you better make a good impression as it will last and be passed on to the entire region and company. Judging of others occurs daily. You are constantly pushed and the workload is not evenly distributed in the store. The company holds on to employees that "play the political game". If you don't, you won't last long. It has been brought to my attention by several guests recently that the company has a "snotty" reputation as a whole. You are clearly not rewarded for your hard work and dedication in the store. It is a #'s game. If your store is doing well, you won't get "called out", but if your store is not excelling, you will be ridiculed in front of other employees. Embarrassing, rude and unprofessional.

Pros

The benefits with the sweaty Pursuits is good and the insurance is good too! You get a team that you get to put together and get to know them and see what works for you guys to be successful in a processing shift!

Cons

The nights are long and very overworked. They ask a lot from you and usually they put the business before you. It’s always we need this and that from the managers but not actually taking time to help or to actually see that we are trying our best and if they actually worked a shift with us and saw the struggles they would understand more. They think it’s easy, when the weight of the store depends on us. You are also qualified as a Guest Experience lead since you have to do both trainings so the management do over utilise that and you will be doing two jobs. Even though it says in the description to support the floor but there’s a difference between supporting from time to time and doing it all the time where you are running the floor and the back at the same time but they’ll say “oh why isn’t this done?” Maybe because you’ve told me to help you out ? The are also very selective about who moves up to be a manager. No work life balance at all!
