Pros

Great first job for those right out of college. Family atmosphere with all the benefits and dysfunction of a family- those who get ahead spend a lot of time networking with owners and upper management. Great full benefits package especially for retail. Employee Discount is great but prices are so high already, very few employees can afford to shop where they work.

Cons

No room for advancement as they hire managers from outside the company. Lots of rules which are enforced inconsistently. Lots of deadweight- legacy hires- that do very little while newer team members pick up the slack. Nepotism rules hiring practices. Patriarch creates very limited opportunities for women.

Pros

Front of house staff are very nice. they definitely deserve more pay and grace. Owner Sam and Partner Kevin are kind and seem genuine.

Cons

CEO micromanages and admin staff are disconnected from their FOH employees. Loud voices and men are favored for promotions. Their HR staff don't know the basics and lack the knowledge to conduct proper workplace investigations. Definitely a lot of bias going on there. Leadership needs more diversity.
