Pros

The pros are the discount and Gym membership

Cons

Buckle up the scheduling and availability requirements are crazy. You can't take off from November through January. Don't show up for your shift? Strike. One minute late for your shift? Strike. You get 4 unexcused absences per year meaning if you have a shift you can't get covered (doesn't matter the reason, your car can break down, anything) it counts as unexcused even if you call to let them know you can't come in. You get 8 times to be late and late means your shift starts at 8:00 and your walking in at 7:59. You really have to be 10 minutes early because there's a whole sign in process on the phone to even clock in. A 5 minute grace period would really exemplifying the "care" they claim to have. Especially as many people struggle with ADD/ADHD. You have to be available for 8 hours Monday-Friday and available for 8 hours Saturday and Sunday. So if you are working a full time job 8-5 Monday - Friday, congratulations you're going to be working 7 days a week. Also did I mention you can only "earn" PTO by working an insane amount of hours... So work a lot to take off a little? Management is okay, well the laid back ones. The others make 6 hour shifts feel like purgatory asking have you checked in with every guest when you clearly have.... Anyways, all that to say the company has potential, but will consistently have high turnover with irrational requirements. This job is really for someone in highschool or a freshman in college.

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!
