Pros

Good salary, early finish on Fridays

Cons

This was three years ago, but I was really prompted by the amount of press around world mental health day this year to write something. I was going through an extremely tough time while I worked here. I tried to bring this up with my manager on numerous occasions by telling my manager I had just broke up with my long-term partner, only for her to literally tell me every time to "man up" and laugh. This person was clearly unfit to manage anyone and I was frequently left with no work and left to my own devices 100% of the time, but they had been at the company a very long time so had found themself in a management position. She bought up at my review that I was miserable and never smiled, but never once bought this up outside of the review or checked on my wellbeing. Fortunately the review resulted in dismissal, which was best for everyone.

Pros

Leadership training, flexible schedule if your store has the necessary staffing, 401k match

Cons

If you don't have staffing then you are required to work weekends consistently, Sales calls requirements keep getting higher and higher, incompetent corporate leadership. Pay is based on 44 hours worked weekly for assistants(48 for Store managers; leaves room for less work/life balance
