      Horrible executives from RDs to CEO.

      Pros

      Retail boot camp. Good experience for all jobs related to retail. You will do well here if you start off by realizing you don't mean anything to the company. Stick to the basics and you can have a good enough JOB. This is not a career unless you have friends in executive positions beyond the RD level.

      Cons

      Employees mean nothing. The company admittedly prefers the high turnover having one executive state " nothing sweeps better than a new broom". Salary means working 6 days and on call 7 days from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. Do not expect to have a work-life balance. This is greed at the highest level.

      Pros

      Company vehicle, pay is good, bonus potential

      Cons

      Intense micro-managing of DMs, everything is a 911, 7 day work week, on 24/7, not even able to take a vacation. Disrespectful RDs, lack of integrity in senior leadership. Lack of follow through. During Covid, everything has been a PR ad. No protection was provided to the DMs, they were asked to do MORE, working upwards of 90+ hours weekly. No consideration for store teams. Compassion from senior leaders doesn't exist. They have no concern for anything except the $$$. And if you don't agree with everything you are told, you put a target on your back, Retaliation and hostile work environment is alive and well in this company . It's dissapointing they can't even follow their own motto of serving others.
