Pros

stores are nice and upscale, Located in good neighborhoods and areas.

Cons

The owner’s management style created a difficult work environment. She frequently belittled and criticized employees and sales associates, often in front of others. Feedback was usually harsh and offered without clear direction on how to improve. Expectations around work ethic and personal appearance were sometimes communicated in a way that felt personal rather than professional. Communication could escalate to yelling and direct insults. Standards and rules changed frequently, and employees were pressured to push sales to every customer despite there being no commission structure. The environment was high-stress and demanding, and many employees either quit or were let go within a short period of time.
