Pros

Excellent time-off benefits including compensation for extra days worked at Christmas. Competitive salaries. Opportunities to develop skills. High employee satisfaction. Culture of recognition for outstanding performance and appreciation for work performed. Great MIT and Intern program. Concern for work/life balance. Good insurance and 401k.

Cons

This business is open all hours--VERY early mornings and VERY late nights plus overnight work required of managers and associates. As in all retail, management varies from store to store and your in-store experience may be subject to who's at the helm. Demands for a high head count adds staff to the team who don't get enough hours. Payroll is tight.

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.
