Pros

Staff was pleasant to work with. And honestly that was just about it.

Cons

My manager personally didn't do a great job of making her employees feel valued. When she talked to you about your performance she would belittle you or talk down. And then upper level management didn't make you feel any better. When someone said they talked to the district it was only because someone was in trouble. I finally quit when my manager called the store to say "if I were to talk to every costumer in the store right now about your performance how would you think they'd respond?" I'm sorry, but that isn't going to make your employees feel like you actually value them or care for their improvement. Don't start off the conversation belittling me, just straight up and tell me someone wasn't greeted and I was notified that's it! Management knew from the very beginning that I was working a full time job and this part time job, they did not care. My manager told me the night I quit that it was "unfortunate" that I had my full time job. So if you have another job whether it be FT or PT this company will not care. With my 40 hours from my full time job, they would still schedule me roughly 20 hours a week, and you have to work on weekends even though that means I worked 6 sometimes 7 days a week. They did not care that I would work 14 hour days and sometimes everyday, my manager said that was unfortunate. I also think the Fran Promise (which is how the whole store runs) is not practical.

Pros

Flexibility, great community, growth opportunities, supportive executives

Cons

Nothing about the business. Liquidation and closure of the brand was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do.
