Pros

The store is pretty and you think the job is going to be amazing when you first start.

Cons

If you want a petty work environment that is full of drama then this job is for you. Even as a customer I wouldn't waste your time you are not paying for quality you are paying for the "look" of the store. While I worked there I found the same exact top we were selling at walmart for $14.99 and we sold it for $79.95. I showed one of the managers and they told me "oh yeah I bet it is the exact same top." Also they claim they are such a give back company yet on Monday's they only give 10% of each sale to a charity which we were barely aware of the charity and promoting it on Mondays. Also I asked a manager what they do with all of their excess inventory, because they order way too much and she told me they sell it to Gabes, T J max etc instead of donating it? Their jewelry always breaks you will have people coming in constantly to say they wore their necklace for one night and it broke. Their stuff is not great quality, but it is so expensive it is ridiculous. I also came into a really petty environment where there was lots of drama, managers dropping the f bomb constantly, lack of communication, lack of hours, managers talking crap about brand reps behind their backs, and just a terrible management team and style. Some managers also have told information to some brand reps that normally management wouldn't share, but like I said lack of management structure. I also expressed interest to a manager there that I would possibly want to look into growth within in the company and she told me "Yeah goodluck with that you won't get it. Home office doesn't like to hire people who work in the stores." So there was not support or nice advice given. This was at the West Town Mall location. So honestly just save your time and energy and go work for a company that not only states its values and company culture, but acts on it as well.

Pros

Literally nothing, can’t think of one positive thing

Cons

I’ve been with the company for years and watching its continuous downfall has become almost comical. Two years ago we took major pay cuts (like 15%) because of the economy but this year they sent us to the Virgin Islands on this over the top meeting that must have cost a fortune. I’d rather have the money in my bank versus a trip I was forced to go on with senior leadership that are absolute horrific people in general and evil businesses people. It all felt like a big propaganda event with tons of videoing and picture taking so they could come home and post all over linked in and social media about how WONDERFUL it is to work there. Don’t even get me started on the new Little House on the Prairie denim dresses we have to wear because they hire managers that aren’t even strong enough to coach to a dress code. How can you run a store if you can’t even tell someone what they’re wearing inappropriate? Instead now we look like a bunch of little followers of the cult everyone already says it is. As long as we say we “stand out for good” at every opportunity it must mean it’s true right? To know who else brainwashed people into thinking bad things are good for them? CULT LEADERS.
