Pros

most of the people there are lovely to work with and they will have fun events and organise little things around store for the educators that make it fun

Cons

unfortunately there are biases within the company (or maybe that is just my experience with my specific branch) but there are some full time educators who are gossipy and rude and dare I say, racist, homophobic etc but never get reprimanded (as the store needs them given that they are full timers, and are besties with management/key leaders), and I think key leaders must be experiencing lots of pressure from management, because every check in they'll emphasise on how to make the most money (what happened to guest experience?) and the grifters get awarded of course because at the end of the day its all about money. Key leaders never take any time to ask what they can do differently, it's a lot of blame game on educators if the branch doesnt perform. They also ask about 'clearings' at check ins, which is toxic positivity if you ask me, because they dont care to help in any way they just want you to say it to get it out of the way.

Pros

Great team environment with supportive coworkers and positive culture. Strong emphasis on personal growth, communication, and leadership development. Flexible scheduling and a workplace that values health, wellness, and work-life balance

Cons

Can be fast-paced during peak hours and requires strong multitasking. Expectations can be high at times, especially around guest experience and store standards.

Pros

discounts, perks, benefits, and community events. I love my coworkers that aren’t in management.

Cons

lots of drama. I’ve been bullied and excluded by a handful of people, including managers. very much so the popular scene. tight scheduling. just updated policy. not many people are happy. have to abide by policy and no way around it for scheduling. dramatically less lenient with scheduling and expectations than when I started. very disappointed. seems they care more about the guest experience than the employee experience now.
