Pros

The benefits package is great with a 401k. Discount is great and at times of the year it is a bit higher.

Cons

No growth, lots of cliques, they play favorites, micromanaged, unprofessional environment, ineffective hr, pay is a lot lower, the open door policy is nonexistent, money is spent on unnecessary items for the company rather than employees pay checks, start up there will be no change.

Pros

Decent base pay, somewhat autonomous, great tip potential.

Cons

The company has changed for the worse since COVID. When I came back the mood of the entire store had shifted. Gone were the days of comradery, customer focus, and taking pride in a job well done. In its place there is a new culture of cutthroat sales, a severe decline in customer focus, and worst of all a new focus on profit over customer satisfaction. When I was told that the amount the store charged for a shoe shine was not enough to do the best job I could for a customer I knew things had gone downhill for the company. Not to mention I watch a manager prey on a mentally disabled person in order to secure a sale, when the person could not understand what was being offered. Sad that such a once great company is now just another greed ridden corporation.
