Pros
- Managers are nice, so are the coworkers you'll have. Likeminded and easy to connect with each of them. - Staff dress and discount are 10/10 (expands to Nike employee discount as well)
Cons
- Hard to communicate with your Managers outside of work hours. You cannot text in group chats, you cannot contact managers, which makes it extremely difficult when there are specific managers for certain jobs and just get told to talk to the other (if they are not in and it's important you're pretty much screwed) You will get scolded for trying to reach them outside of work hours because "boundaries" and "respect" but will have NO problem contacting you outside of your work hours. - Not enough hours. VERY frequent payroll cuts, even when the store is doing well and we're hitting the goal. We get rewarded for our hard work with hour cuts. - There is always more than one to two managers at the same time (each with 8-hour shifts). Even in "dead" seasons when there are BARELY any hours. They get paid more and get the longest shifts, but the associates who actually put in the work get the hour cuts and feel it, but the managers don't which is extremely frustrating. - Management can really be hypocrites. You will get called out and in trouble for using your phone briefly. But managers will be walking or standing around on the phone for decent amounts of hours in front of customers. Both locations I worked at were like this.
