Pros

-Helpful supervisors keeping tabs on how you're doing on sales, customer engagement, helpful sales tips, and training you on becoming a great employee for their store -Friendly Co-worker environment (even from employees from other stores were helpful and nice)

Cons

-If you work there long enough, you have to really pressure for a raise and keep tabs on being paid correctly. It's happened when a few hours were missing but it can be fixed. -Strict on tardiness. I get it, you have to be on time for work but there were sometimes being 5 mins late and you had a serious talk with the floor supervisor later as if you were an hour late without notice. You have to get there like 15 mins before your shift and literally be there the minute your shift started to sign in and then have a 10-minute chat with the floor supervisor on updates and tasks for the day.

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.
