Pros

If you thrive in a fast-paced, ever-changing, start-up-like environment, this is the place. Lots of diversity. Modern office digs. Highly-intelligent, friendly & trendy executive leadership team w/open door policies.

Cons

Not really a con, but perfecting new & improved processes takes time. Some people don't do well with change. PIRCH is a place where being flexible & open-minded serves you best.

Pros

The people that you work with here have a family type atmosphere because of the way the old executive team ran things. Although they almost ran the company into the ground, they did do one thing right which was treating their employees with respect. They were very good at deceiving us and basically saying "look at this awesome new showroom" so we were distracted from them throwing money into a barrel and setting it on fire. The new executive team isn't much better. They are completely opposite from the last team, you can tell they don't care too much about the employees, its all about the money now. I get they feeling that they are trying to be similar in the culture much like the old executive team, but we are just numbers, and when your employees are numbers, you don't feel emotions towards them. They are updating their systems to be more modern so that we can be competitive and not rely on ancient methodologies.

Cons

With the new executive team, you can expect that they will hire outside of the company to fill their management positions and it will be with someone they worked with at their previous company (PetSmart, Oakley, etc..). The new executive team promised to be transparent, and if a brick wall is transparent, then yes they are in fact transparent. Positions at the company that used to start at 17+ an hour now start at minimum wage, and they are wondering why their senior employees are leaving for better opportunities. The key word being better. I would imagine the only reason that they still have as many employees as they do currently is because they haven't quite found somewhere to go yet. I've wanted to stay here and possibly expand my career with Pirch, I've been here through the best and worst of times. I've survived the massive layoffs and I try to be positive about this company but there is only so much I can witness before I have to cut my losses. If you want to hire employees at minimum wage, you are going to create departments of under-educated, under skilled people who don't care because they don't pay enough for them to care.

Thank you for your feedback, tenure and continued contributions to PIRCH. There has been a lot of change and we acknowledge not all of it has been easy. We are so proud of our teams and leaders. Just last month we were named the fastest growing appliance retailer in America for the second consecutive year! With over 100 hires year to date and 30+ positions open we are a growing company with a bright future! Of those 100+ hires 2 are from Oakley and 3 from Petco (since you mentioned it). The other 95+ are too many to name, but a diverse slate of top talent from many different companies and industries. Thanks, again, for your feedback. Please feel free to connect directly as well.
