Pros

Standards, quality of product, expectations, opportunities

Cons

Completely depends on the dynamics of store director and associate managers. It has all the potential pitfalls and disadvantages of any retail job, unfortunately. Despite being optimistic it does not set itself apart. Don't expect emotional intelligence. Kind of funny how one manager thinks you're great and another has a problem with everything you do. That is a sign of a bad manager, but an especially unprofessional manager when they bad mouth you to others.

Pros

There are a lot of talented, hardworking people at this company, which makes recent leadership decisions even more frustrating.

Cons

Communication around major organizational changes has been vague and inconsistent, leaving employees with significant uncertainty and little confidence in the direction of the business. Morale has declined considerably. Many employees feel that years of experience, performance, and institutional knowledge are being undervalued in favor of rigid policies and top-down decision making.
