Pros

Very team oriented. Involved in the community and truly have their guests and communities best interests at heart. Not to mention, a fantastic product that is worth the money, or at least when on sale.

Cons

No hours to get the work done required for that type of store. Most employees are paid minimum wage and management isn't paid much better. Everyone is overworked and overwhelmed.

Business Outlook

Pros

- a do-good company - good place to learn the ropes because of size and age - lots of great people - HQ office loaction - career opportunities are decent (but only because of high turnover and push for low compensation)

Cons

- compensation (15-20% below market rate if you're working in SF) - work-life balance is a myth for many departments - crazy high turnover - leadership lacks the talent and gusto to make quick and effective changes; way too many layers of "leaders" - benefits are over-hyped; benefits are on par with any respectable company; the merch discount is great except that the product sucks so everything is 40-50% off to the public anyway - culture is stale and full of unhappy people (unbelievable how many people came to me and told me they wanted to quit after putting in my notice)
