Pros

Amazing products and get to work with great people. Love the clientele and having something to do at all times. You never have the same day twice.

Cons

District 34 is going through excessive and un- necessary changes due to new DM. The district has gone from having high respect from not only those inside the company but from other retailers as well to now being known for nothing except poaching mass amounts of employees and not promoting any from within. It has become a hostile environment which has driven out a majority of well respected and talented employees throughout the district, as well as harassment, slander, and disregard of not only company policies but company budget to support the DM's personal agenda and alliances. Its a shame to see a once professional and successful area, fall in such a hard and destroying way that makes it difficult for any persons to even consider taking part in or supporting such unimaginable actions, and that upper management would allow such going ons at the cost of the image and reputation of the company name.

Pros

Good discount for managers and above

Cons

Growing too big too fast. trying to cut money via payroll for comping stores and upper management. Let the stores grow their business instead of saturating the market with stores within 2 miles of each other.

Pros

Some freedom to do own visuals in store Unique merchandise and fun gifts

Cons

Small staff...boutique manager left alone often to do most work. Very hard work/life balance. Low pay creates hgh turnover rate. Hard to find qualified lead positions for the pay. Management salary very low compared to other retailers. Not enough hours given to be efficient and effective with operations and service. Selling module is forced and over the top....can become a pushy sales environment that does come across to guests as a turn off.
