Pros
The business/brand vision is well-intentioned and, at its core, has good values. Flexible with shifts, no focus on individual KPI’s. Smaller more authentic retail environment compared to bigger retail chains.
Cons
Really poor management, we worked without a store manager for months with little support from head office management. This was extremely stressful for me, being the second in charge. There was SO much pressure to get everything done each week. Any acknowledgment came across as disingenuous as no one helped us through that really stressful time. It got so physically and mentally straining on me to the point I had to resign. I was doing what the store manager had to do on top of my own responsibilities and didn’t get a cent more for it.
