Pros

Good pay, benefits, work environment, perks, and company culture. Management focuses on training and developing employees and keeping you on track to advance to the next level of your career. They recruit from colleges all around the country, so the mix of people working there is diverse. Everyone is generally welcoming and kind.

Cons

The corporate environment can feel suffocating at times, as can the location of the suburbs of Wisconsin. There can also be high stress and drama depending on the season.

Pros

Good full-time benefits, flexible scheduling. But the cons are starting to outweigh the good.

Cons

A new store manager took over the Massapequa Park location (Long Island, NY) and the workplace culture has become highly challenging since. Her management style is overly critical, and she makes harsh, rapid judgments without taking the time to know her associates or understand their roles. Furthermore, she does not lead by example, and she sets unrealistic expectations without providing regular check-ins or continuous coaching. This has left the staff feeling unsupported and neglected. There is also a strong perception that loyal employees hours are being unfairly cut or even terminated to reduce store costs rather than supporting the well-being and retention of the staff.
