Pros

Sometimes you get to enjoy free parties at corporate.

Cons

ZERO work-life balance. Senior marketing management came from failing company and seem to not have a clue what they’re doing. Everything is last minute and such a disorganized mess. Management stays in meetings all day then expect you to stay late to make changes because they don’t know to to communicate via email or using work tools. When the company was bought out they lost touch of the mission and values and now they just dictate and want to make money. It became another political management party that’s trying to figure it out as they go but still make themselves look good with complete disregard for their employees lives, growth, or well-being. The marketing team put too many unqualified people brought in from the failing company into management because they’re “buddies”. Everyone is driven by fear of being in trouble or being reprimanded rather than having a supportive management team that listens and tries to help people grow and develop. No trust at all. It’s a broken system.

Pros

I loved my job. I’m met so many wonderful people. And the associates couldn’t have been better.

Cons

I hurt myself and had to have surgery, and I was on Worker’s Comp. with limited availability. Because hours were short in operations, they made up this crazy position and wanted me to be ”lead” of the markdown team. I knew that meant for the most part to do go backs. I told them I wasn’t allowed to be on my feet that long and so she said they couldn’t accommodate me and I had to leave. And then the manager had the nerve to call their workers comp and told them I wasn’t coming into work. The management at that time was horrible. But there was a time when I first started working there that to store manager, and the assistant manager were wonderful. We were all so sad they left, but it didn’t take this new manager that I was talking about any time at all to lose almost the entire store associates.
