Pros

The people are great and we are able to work around pets all day. Many people bring in there dogs. At times it can be a fun environment to work in. The discount is great especially with the amount of things on sale.

Cons

There is a lack of communication between managers, and between management and associates. Each manager seems to have their own idea on how things are to be done. The pay is not all that great and there always seem sto be a shortage of hours. We are told to great every customer, but many get irritated that they are asked 7 or 8 times what an associate "can help them with today."

Pros

If you have experience they can pay very well considering the size of the company. Depending on which store you are in, they can be pretty good at fostering a good environment and culture.

Cons

Company is primarily focused on sales and not customer experience. So expect a lot of metrics and hounding customers. Company is trying to be technologically forward but continues to neglect to invest in the technology. So there’s updates every week crashes every week with no communication around it.
