Pros

Overall set schedule was really nice. Opportunities to boost store moral and engagement and yearly budget to treat the team. Great discount.

Cons

Training was all over the place, partially just thrown into the role due to my background and being able to pick up on things quickly. Overall company outlook is a bit bleak right now after layoffs, mine included. Not sure corporate is understanding current customers, yes older customers are shopping less so older products can leave and make way for new products, but younger customers are cautious or not spending as much. Health benefits are lack luster, highest out of pocket deductible I’ve ever experienced, and first time I’ve ever had to hit it.

Pros

40% discount makes luxury curated product almost affordable $800 office chair? $200 litter box?

Cons

Management has lost focus of anything but $$$$$. Communication is non-existent. Hardware and software are archaic and struggling to keep up to pace, systems constantly go down and it’s just another day. Programs have been stripped so they can’t even track client contact cohesively, so communication needs to be documented in 3 places. Data cannot be compiled into reports. So why??
