Pros

Coworkers at the store level were often supportive and doing their best

Cons

Any positive reviews are either fake or incentive based..... Extremely high pressure with unrealistic sales expectations Management culture is toxic and rooted in micromanagement Work-life balance is almost nonexistent, especially for leadership Long hours with little appreciation or support Emotional labor is expected but never acknowledged Constant guilt-tripping around availability, sales performance, and “commitment” Poor communication from upper management and constant last-minute changes Burnout is common and turnover is high for a reason
