Pros

The opportunity to grow is great if you take the right steps, the big steps, to support the store standards and sales. Taking initiative definitely shows management that you are invaluable and irreplaceable. With the work put in, promotion to full time (rare) after a year. Good starting pay compared to many other retail stores. Discount is very generous considering the prices. Flexible scheduling and requesting time off is easily negotiable. Everyone is a part of a great team and teamwork is very important day to day.

Cons

Pay raise is very small. Chances of being promoted to a higher position is rare (but possible). Management could be better in communicating with sales associates and following up with progress in workload. Too many products to push into a store, regardless of how big or small the storefront is.

Pros

Very black & white on policies. You always know what is right or wrong.Operationally strong company that allows movement between brands. Decent pay if you advocate for yourself as an external, but don’t expect much once you’re in.

Cons

Company has changed direction so much since COVID. Seems like there’s no clear idea on who we are anymore.Senior leadership feels like a revolving door that only succeeds in spinning tires with no traction. We love to initiate something only to either sunset it months later or leave it in limbo(WellPro). The amount of stress pushed on stores to meet credit goals is absurd to the point it inspires unethical behaviors in certain stores.
