Pros
None at this time. Horrible place
Cons
Horrible horrible where do I start! Lack of training lack of concern. Hired on for 8 hours and now its 10 hours a day! Dogs every where pooping here and there. It's in a WAREHOUSE so it's not your fancy call center setting!No perks No PTO until after 6 months of employment!! The employees are dry and think they are better than new hires. Location is crAzy! West side ! Pay is not enough for the long hours and a 3 day off schedule is not enough for the low pay and no OT!! No flexibility No nothing! kids running around on scooters ! it's a mad house and a cold warehouse! Would not recommend 🙄

Pros
Communication is on point and in the moment, someone is ALWAYS available to answer questions and make sure things ger resolved ASAP. You have the owner at you fingertips, like what other company can say they can email, call, or text the OWNERS when they need to. They also are present for EVERY meeting no matter how big or small, and comes to stores to check on us and get feedback from everyone on how their experience is and what can they do to better our store/company. I love that the district managers are active in the store with ALL employees and not just stuck up office paperwork people lol. My previous job I went to work unhappy everyday and was just their for a check, but now I love going to work lol its like you get paid to have fun, make customers feel good, and meet some pretty interesting people. The diversity is off the chain their is no specific "type" of person that can work at AKIRA everyone is different, unique and can be their self. Their is so many opportunities to grow and make yourself known. And theirs NO DRESS CODE lol.. I love it here
Cons
My employee discount is the devil and I spend all my money.
