Pros

-Great products and discounts -Awesome coworkers -Ability to pick up hours from another store

Cons

-High turnover rate (I have gone through 3 managers and 2 asst managers within a yr) -Too many responsibilities with little pay. You're doing things an asst manager could be doing (raises are a joke here) -Unrealistic sales goals. Even if you make target, they say it's not good enough. -You have to wear silly aprons. Makes you feel like the help. -Favoritism. If the manager doesn't like you, they will find a way to get rid of you, or transfer you to another store.

Pros

Products are lovely, and the employee discount is on par with what I have received in other companies. I loved their product philosophy, and the charity work the company engaged in. They also hire talented people, but lose them quickly due to bad upper management.

Cons

I left for a couple of reasons. While the company had a clear product philosophy, their sales philosophy was fluid and ever changing, depending on who you talked to. The one constant was that you were never doing it all right. They also handle personnel issues poorly. When someone was hired who wasn't working out, HR told you tough cookies. Our manager reported to his chain of command within a new employee's probationary period that there was a problem and received no support. By the time they finally did fire that person 18 months later, the staff of the store had turned over twice, including two store managers in 6 months.
