Pros

Great discounts, empowering environment, friendly staff

Cons

The attendance policy "point system" is pretty insane, especially in the first 30 days. someone I know had legitimate reasons for being late/calling in (such as unplanned car emergencies and a literal fever) and almost got fired for it. I understand wanting employees who are reliable but having zero exceptions to the rule is so disrespectful and shows they really don't care about the people who keep their business going, imo. Also, managers don't get points, so they can take whatever time they need and the rest of us have to bend over backwards to avoid losing our jobs.

Pros

Great overall culture, I worked at corporate for 12 years and there were ups and downs but overall it was a great decision to work there! I had several amazing managers that were more like mentors. HR was pretty helpful with career development and helping. I was part of a reorg and the company actually set me up with a recruiter and did an amazing job finding me more than one role. If you have the chance work here, they care about development as well. The benefits are great! If you get the chance work here.

Cons

Had a couple of bad managers but majority were very good

Pros

Have met some amazing coworkers. Brand itself is fun.

Cons

Sudden Return to Work mandate 3 days in NY or OH SIX years after COVID. Any current employees outside of those states are being let go if they don’t uproot their lives and relocate. Many employees in those states built their lives around what seemed to be a permanent remote flexibility arrangement (most companies went back in 23). When Hillary Super came on she even stated in one of her first Q&A’s on remote work that where people do their jobs wasn’t a big concern for her as long as we continued to drive the business forward. The business is doing the best it ever has in the last five years. Leadership reasoning for mandate is continuing to fall flat. Mandate came absolutely out of NOWHERE.
