Pros

*Schedules are posted 2 or 3 weeks in advance *Decent pay rate for the industry plus 40% of employee discount on regular merchandise *Constant training *Working around nice people

Cons

*As any other retailer you have to work Holidays, nights and weekends *You have to ask customers for email address to link their purchase and to stay connected to the store...and they track your performance every day, it's hard when people doesn't want to share their email because all the junk, spams, privacy, etc. It makes you feel like you have to beg for an email so the company is happy with you. Not fun at all. *The apron gives you a really ugly look, but I guess it's not so bad that you wear uniform to save some money.

Pros

Everyone from director level on down in my department was great. Very collaborative. Gave you autonomy to do and try new things.

Cons

Where do I start…Sr. Leadership is TERRIBLE. I mean absolutely horrific. No direction and plans were changing at the drop of a dime after the BB&B “merger”. You could feel the shift in the culture, just NASTY attitudes and taking the employees for granted. The new CEO and the rest of Sr. level execs acted like everyone was just expendable workhorses. They touted reopening the headquarters cafe as some awesome benefit so they could bring people back to the office full time. If you’re going to be bullish and require everyone back, have some guts and just do it. But don’t act like a cafe is some life changing benefit to get everyone excited. Anyway, blind leading the blind. The merit increase or raises - non existent. No 401k match. Nothing positive because the company is so broke. The new store concept sounds a mess. Save yourself and don’t even apply, let alone accept an offer. Joel Bines is no longer the CEO. He was a great guy and I think he had great ideas. Marcus Lemonis is the new CEO and I would give him a thumbs down.
