Pros

Employee discount is 50% off; get to wear workout clothes everyday! They practice consistent COVID-19 safety protocols.

Cons

My experience working at this store has NOT been what I thought I signed up for. I envisioned working at Athleta to be an inclusive sisterhood where diversity would be embraced/encouraged; instead this particular group of women are toxic, two-faced, gossipy and generally unhappy and fake! If you’re a high performer, brace yourself for the large target painted on your back! This team formed several cliques; the main clique which is 3 associates basically run the store and if they don’t like you for whatever reason, be prepared to be harassed and victim to their constant lies and petty garbage drama.

Pros

Very black & white on policies. You always know what is right or wrong.Operationally strong company that allows movement between brands. Decent pay if you advocate for yourself as an external, but don’t expect much once you’re in.

Cons

Company has changed direction so much since COVID. Seems like there’s no clear idea on who we are anymore.Senior leadership feels like a revolving door that only succeeds in spinning tires with no traction. We love to initiate something only to either sunset it months later or leave it in limbo(WellPro). The amount of stress pushed on stores to meet credit goals is absurd to the point it inspires unethical behaviors in certain stores.
