      Pros

      great work life balance, plenty of parties throughout the year

      Cons

      terrible pay, upper management makes poor decisions, everyone is a temp, low pay for workers so you can get everyone from Henderson who wash out after a few weeks.

      Advice to Management

      Replace upper management at the warehouse, they were there when building was closing and have the wrong mindset. Also do more to increase the brand image, no one knows who we are or what we do

      The companies ethics and values. The products are also amazing.

      Cons

      The pay, competitive work atmosphere.

      Advice to Management

      I would stop with the personal sales goals because it create unnecessary tension between coworkers. There is also no need for personal goals because you do not reward us based on them. You only reward overall store sales goal.
