Pros

- Most coworkers in the outlet were nice (apart from a select few) - I only treated this as a very short term job to earn some cash so i didn’t really care that much BUT there were so many negatives

Cons

- Management was pretty horrible (one of the worst places i’ve worked at) > expects us to give stellar customer service and watch customers like a hawk once they enter the store (basically like lululemon, but we are getting paid WAY less than lulu) which also in my honest opinion would make me uncomfortable as a customer if that was being done to me by store employees - Actively watched the cctv in the store live and would get a warning call straightaway from one of our bosses if we were deemed to “not be approaching customers actively” to ask if they need any help once they step foot into the store (how do u expect us to do this if multiple customers enter the shop at one time and some of them come in one grp?) - When working, me and my colleagues couldn’t even be seen standing too close to each other or talking in an empty store or we wld get scolded straightaway through a call (ridiculous) mind u, we were able to see the front of the store at all times and stopped conversing once customers entered… what else are we supposed to do if the store has been empty for most of our shift? theres only so much rearranging of racks/cleaning to do 🤡 - Very obvious preferential treatment to certain employees (giving them the shifts they wanted etc) and giving them a lot of grace, while not extending the same grace to other employees - Some of these “favorite” employees will actually “backstab” you if any problems arise (eg. by leaking private messages to management to divert blame)

Pros

Everyone suffers together so a bond is created Management will like you until you show resistance toward their need to gather together for lunch

Cons

Medical is literally the bare minimum You are under paid, eventhough AWS is included, no bonuses and no increments No work life balance, management will say that they dont make you work on weekends/ph and encourage not to bring home work but really they give so much workload that everyone ends up bringing it home and you'll have to reply management when they text you on weekends. Theres high turnover, the only ones that stayed for more than 2-3 years is probably the management which is no brainer they are sisters and the other one is practically family to them. Management is very 1 sided and once they hear from 1 side, they have judged you and wont even give you a time of day. Management will NOT listen to you or your side once they've heard from others. Management will NOT care about how you are, they just want results end of the day Management WILL gaslight you even after you have given proof to them Management will NOT make you progress Management gives unrealistic goals to everyone, even after several feedback that it is unrealistic Management are and always be biased Management does not recognise your efforts and the extra work you put in Mind you, the owner had once given a remark that if wanted to, she could drop this company and do other things. If that is the kind of leader you want to work with, best of luck. They will twist their words like no tomorrow, that is why having everything in black and white is important. Truly blinded by money, that they truly do not care about customers (eventhough they portray it to be) and their employees Many employees left because they were unhappy with the management, no use of an exit interview if management dont heed everyone's feedback.
