Pros

Excellent coworkers who provided a family like atmosphere and legitimately cared for you. Some extra discount days and holidays often held potluck

Cons

Lack of communication between management. Was once told to do three different things by three different people. Heavy favoritism that is very apparent

Thank you for the thoughtful email. If we could ask you to call the field leaders and talk through the cons. Seeing valued associates leave because of communication is disappointing. The only way we can help the store and future associates is to gain a better understanding of the concerns. Thank you..
