Pros

phenomenal talent, team and goal oriented coworkers, best closet solutions in the industry

Cons

mid management and executives suffer from group think so employees hear the same robotic cheerleading that lacks authenticity, CEO lacks vision and support of employee first culture allowing ineffective executives to get too comfortable, foundation principles have all been compromised, payroll cannot support sales expectations with employees spread too thin over the past several years, which isn't sustainable. The same feedback from stores has been received for years without meaningful action steps being taken. The area director only visits a few times a year and is never on the sales floor supporting employees who are actively selling. Replace these roles with more payroll dedicated to each store who can support sales. Culture has become profit versus people driven and the results are evident.

Pros

Decent pay for the most part

Cons

No raises, no bonuses, as an IC doing every other department is more important. Lots of forced overtime at the last minute.
