Great company gone bad

Co-manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

-Free product -Cross-brand discount (it's only half a pro because you don't get to use any discounts on promotional items)

Cons

-Awful work/life balance (plan on rearranging multiple vacations for jet visits, regional visits, floorset changes, mid theme updates or most recently complement changes) -Sell or die culture. Bad month? Better look for a new job. -Crazy metric expectations compared to other retailers -Lack of professionalism from DM level and up -HR has turned into a joke. Best guess is they have so much to deal with right now that they can't fix anything at all. -You will not coach, develop, manage talent at this company. You will sell. I repeat: You will just sell. -Very little internal promotion

Business Outlook

Pros

Gratis, Fun and energetic atmosphere, customer first, great place to really develop as an employee of retail and to thrive in customer service experiance Full time: great benefits, PTO offered immediately and plenty of it, scheduling online painless, appropriate discounts

Cons

It is possible to move up in the company but if you happen to start making a little too much money they find ways to road block you. They will start pointing out issues in you performance that have nothing to do with performance but are infact personal. HR claims are not taken seriously and little action is ever made when there are issues with Store managers.

Pros

40% discount at BBW and VS!! Met great people that I will be friends with outside the company.

Cons

Call in shifts for sales associates, micromanaging from DM and higher. Cameras that only DMs have access too. Commission like sales environment without the payout of commission. Zero work/life balance
