Great coworkers, corporate completely checked out of reality

Supervisor

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of interesting products, most co workers were interesting and fun.

Cons

Pay was minimum, 20¢ max raises. Corporate in their own reality with expectations and behind the trends by at least a season. Discounts started okay and kept getting worse and worse. Corporate policy is almost always over ridden and then corporate comes down on you for overriding the policy and if you don’t they get mad at you for not helping the customer it’s a no win situation.

Great Coworkers, Not Great Management

Seasonal sales associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

One of the most fun jobs I've had. Coworkers were great, environment was usually relaxed barring insane customers.

Cons

COVID protocols were very loosely enforced, and it was pretty difficult to call out if you had to. I and other coworkers had to go in sick several times.
