Pros

Great opportunities for growth as the company continues to grow and expand Stores have almost everything you need with a solid discount for associates Good ideas are heard and listened to by management Organizational focus on doing things the right way, rather than going after the quick buck Long-term investments in customer service and associate training make for a rewarding experience for customers and associates alike A company you can be proud to work for

Cons

The nature of the beast means that our business is impacted by things outside of our control, such as who wins the World Series or long, hot summers where nobody wants to go outside

Pros

The customers there were wonderful to talk to

Cons

Had to quit due to team leads aggressive attitude towards me. Also favoritism issues. I can tell they didn't like me since day 1. Today they came to me rudely about mistakes I made instead of doing it professionally. I haven't been there for long and I was still learning. I made a lot of improvements which I was really happy about, but was still learning. As much as I liked working there, the team lead was very rude/unprofessional towards me and it was so bad to the point I had to leave. The same team lead followed me outside and said "good" that I was leaving (in front of customers too). I was improving a lot in the position, I want to hear constructive criticism, but not like this. I was hoping to grow with the store and the company but unfortunately its not meant to be. This could've been 100% been prevented if only they would came to me professionally about this and I would be more than happy to fix any mistakes and do better in the future. But if this is how they treat their coworkers I do not wish to be a part of that toxic culture and headspace. Do better.
