Pros

- Discount on merchandise, including sale. - Youth Foundation provides support to Indianapolis children. - Opportunity to work with many well known national brands. - Rewards program for being active.

Cons

- In office 5 days per week (no flexibility); everyone is miserable. - Engagement survey that showed there is a lot of work to be done to improve employee satisfaction but nothing has been done for months. Poor leadership that does not listen to the employee base. - Incredibly flat organization. It is very difficult to advance. - Pay is laughable when compared to others in the industry. No negotiations. - All actions are micromanaged at every level. You feel like a child being watched by leadership. Even top performers are under scrutiny. - Employees are unhappy so turnover is extremely high. Some employees are forced to do the work of multiple roles without a compensation increase. - Touts being an inclusive organization but is far from it. Men fail upward while women have to claw for respect in every situation. It is disgusting.

Pros

coordination between salesfloor and backroom is really good. small location so knowing all the stock isn't that difficult.

Cons

training is not very thorough so it's better if you have prior retail experience.
