Pros

Decent pay if your salaried compared to other retailers. Bonuses if your store does well. Decent initiatives for hourly associates.

Cons

Once you become salaried forget having work life balance. Forget having any sanity. Your constantly under scrutiny unless your the market team pet. If you want a day off, and you ask for it off a month in advance, it almost never happens. Forget going home after your 10hrs....your salaried remember :)

Good management. Balanced work-play culture environment.

Hours often change weekly. You may be required to work weekends, late evenings, and major holidays when the store is busiest.

Pros

At the corporate level, the benefits and compensation are excellent. Colleagues at the producer level are standout teammates, talented, collaborative, and genuinely invested in the company's success. They consistently bring forward meaningful contributions and make the day-to-day work rewarding.

Cons

"Chaos" is not a word I'm using loosely. It's the word echoed across teams, including outside of Experience and Product. Leadership operates in a constant state of upheaval: frequent role changes, structural reorganizations, and strategy pivots that are implemented without any clear plan or consideration of cross-team impact. Incredibly talented people are let go as a result of poor leadership and people management decisions. There is no real culture of mentorship above the senior manager level. Leadership above the senior manager level made clear that mentorship isn't their responsibility and that you're expected to figure it out on your own, despite the company having training resources available. That disconnect is telling.
