Pros

Great benefits and community outreach

Cons

Company training tools are underdeveloped- job is very much teach yourself and don’t have much support or guidance so if you make a mistake, you are basically screwed. Don’t bother trying to make friends with your peers if you aren’t an internal candidate because you will just be an outkast and employees that are tenured don’t value your opinion no matter how much previous experience you have outside the company. Very demanding for being underpaid and undervalued- you can live and breathe work but it still won’t be good enough. There’s no such thing as progress or celebrating small wins- either you are winning or losing so it’s defeating and demotivating. If you don’t have a great relationship with your direct report, don’t expect to grow with the company. Also, PTO doesn’t roll over or get paid out.

Pros

You might meet some lifelong friends! Long tenure if you are willing to give up everything to try to be a successful employee Good EAP program for short term intensive therapy…

Cons

Public criticism, condescending communication, inconsistent accountability, and fear-based management styles became increasingly common. Feedback often felt reactive rather than constructive, and many employees did not feel psychologically safe speaking openly about concerns. There was also a significant lack of consistency between leaders and stores. Expectations changed constantly, communication was often unclear, and favoritism sometimes impacted accountability and decision-making. Long-term employees who consistently stepped up during difficult periods often felt taken for granted rather than appreciated. Reporting to HR will get you no where. You will be gaslit if you choose to speak up.
