Pros

- Sample sales - 401K matching - $100/month commute assistance - Charitable matching program - Convenient downtown location

Cons

- Nepotism is rampant - Politics are more important than skill set & hard work - Marketing leaders with no marketing background are commonplace - Lack of access to meaningful data - Loudest voice in the rooms wins - So behind the times in marketing that if you want a job somewhere else later it makes you look less relevant having worked here - Senior managers ask questions like "what's a CPC?"

Pros

Decent base pay, somewhat autonomous, great tip potential.

Cons

The company has changed for the worse since COVID. When I came back the mood of the entire store had shifted. Gone were the days of comradery, customer focus, and taking pride in a job well done. In its place there is a new culture of cutthroat sales, a severe decline in customer focus, and worst of all a new focus on profit over customer satisfaction. When I was told that the amount the store charged for a shoe shine was not enough to do the best job I could for a customer I knew things had gone downhill for the company. Not to mention I watch a manager prey on a mentally disabled person in order to secure a sale, when the person could not understand what was being offered. Sad that such a once great company is now just another greed ridden corporation.
