      Pros

      Built on solid family values, Technology Leadership is focused on driving Transformational change in how we deliver and what we deliver, Technology Leadership is spending a great deal of time to take the organization to the next level. They are willing to make the tough decisions that people may not like, but know it's needed in order to be successful in this Retail market. This comes with a variety of opinions. At the end of the day, this leadership team is working hard to show the Engineering teams of all levels and disciplines that they matter and is listening to feedback.

      Cons

      Like many large companies in the midst of Transformation and a Retail landscape that is changing so quickly it's tough to keep up and react. There does need to be additional strong leaders brought in to continue the journey order to not burn out the team we have. They do still need to "Clean House" with some legacy behaviors in order to turn the corner or else these people will only be the boat anchor that will prevent the rest of us experiencing success and most importantly the desire and willingness to do the work needed if you do keep these folks around.

      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.
