Pros
This company overall drives passion for the product and the customers. You can't help but feel proud every time you walk into your store. They also compensate very well and offer a ton of gratis/buy-ins. You work VERY hard, but at least they pay really well. It's also nice to see hard workers who maybe don't have college degrees earn a comfortable living based off skill and work ethic. PTO is great as well, but you have to really make sure you plan it out with blackout being about 30% of the year.
Cons
The company is lately getting away from talent development and just driving dollars. I don't feel they are investing in their future since many of our associates see how overworked management is, they lack desire to grow into rise roles. Even with solid bonus and pay structures positions turn quickly because the pressure is really high. Upper management can make you feel disposable at times, and feedback used to be valued, but lately falls on deaf ears. Shrink is out of control and there is little support for in store ORC. I also love the company values, but feel like the company only follows them when it is convenient or doing well.
