Pros

Open communication from the executive team. When I had a family emergency, HR was very helpful and my department was willing to be flexible. It highly depends on the department you are in. It is a great place for an easy 9-5 job with a steady paycheck and good benefits.

Cons

Recognition, feedback, promotions all highly depend on the department that you are in. There are a few 'old-timers' in the leadership team that, in my opinion, do not offer much to the company and in fact, hold back progress. Very little mentorship and/or training programs. It's mostly learn as you go, sink or swim.

Pros

Fun atmosphere, chill coworkers, decent discount, I could come to work do my job & there was no drama. I worked there seasonally during Christmas and loved it, they didn’t keep me on after cause I was one of the last hires and they had to cut like 30% of the seasonal staff so I was bummed. The manager was nice, so were the assistant managers. Customers were chill, thanked us a lot for being there. Got some good stuff between sales and discount.

Cons

Not enough hours which I knew before I started, cash registers could use some updating
