Pros

Good product, great store team relationships

Cons

Organization is extremely disorganized, with multiple "priorities" coinciding at the same time. Priority should = 1, not 8 different things of "equal" importance. You will stall at Store General Manager level if you don't brown-nose and use all the Athleta positivity verbiage. The customers are extremely entitled and only got worse during the pandemic; HQ and field leaders will not support you even if customers make you feel unsafe and unvalued.

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.
