Pros

Flexibility with visual presentation of store. Great discount for the Store Manager 50%.

Cons

PTO policy forces you to take a full week if you want a actual fri - sun off. As well as Mondays you are not allowed to be off unless you are taking a full week of PTO. If your DM doesn't like you they will talk bad about you to the other store managers in the district as well a find reasons to get rid of you. There is absolutely zero support in helping you get what you need ( training , product, visits ect ) to be successful from your DM or Regional. The bonus plan is worthless since they goal you so high it's not achievable. The ability to grow into a higher position is a joke. They prefere to hire outside the company vs. internal development and promotion.

Pros

Great discount for manager.

Cons

Operationally this company is a disaster. Boutique managers are expected to "own" their business but its impossible with all the changes that come from corporate daily. They are out of touch with what is going on in the boutiques and what the boutiques need to succeed. They have lost alot of great team members to do management at the district and regional level.
