Pros

Pay is great, discount is good, give back is amazing

Cons

Management at store leader level and up is the worse. There is a lot of favoritism within the company and they expectations are set to such a high Standard it's a maricle to even get any hiring done. Because of the companies gallop test upon hiring. The baseline values is stand out for good but they tolerate, race discrimination, sex discrimination, and LGBT customers aren't treated the friendliest, there's also body image shaming happening. Management doesn't like to take responsibility for situations they cause and place blame on other staff members. District supervisors only really talk to store leaders don't give you any direction and will pick at the smallest irrelevant things to criticize and critique. The company constantly changes policies when they see fit. The bonus program is a joke. They also expect you to work yourself and have no work life balance.

Pros

Literally nothing, can’t think of one positive thing

Cons

I’ve been with the company for years and watching its continuous downfall has become almost comical. Two years ago we took major pay cuts (like 15%) because of the economy but this year they sent us to the Virgin Islands on this over the top meeting that must have cost a fortune. I’d rather have the money in my bank versus a trip I was forced to go on with senior leadership that are absolute horrific people in general and evil businesses people. It all felt like a big propaganda event with tons of videoing and picture taking so they could come home and post all over linked in and social media about how WONDERFUL it is to work there. Don’t even get me started on the new Little House on the Prairie denim dresses we have to wear because they hire managers that aren’t even strong enough to coach to a dress code. How can you run a store if you can’t even tell someone what they’re wearing inappropriate? Instead now we look like a bunch of little followers of the cult everyone already says it is. As long as we say we “stand out for good” at every opportunity it must mean it’s true right? To know who else brainwashed people into thinking bad things are good for them? CULT LEADERS.
