Pros

started ok like to see the dogs and cats

Cons

dms have favorites and you are teated accordingly policies not enforced equally, some people get away with things that some are fired for politics suck......culture? non existent colleagues back bite and throw you under the bus, then back up and run over you again, then open the door to make sure your dead if not they run over you again! No teamwork at district level. DM friendly with some (very) and rubs that in the non favorites noses, then with some she is ms. P&P.

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.
