Pros

Staff discounts were a nice benefit

Cons

Poor management, young managers that huddled together and separated themselves from the store team as superior. Rigid, inflexible schedules that were determined by these managers that seemed unfair to all staff, very ingenious people who stated policy but were not aware of it, management would micro-manage all educators and even tried to control what staff talked about, preferential treatment to those they liked or those that conformed, hiring practices were unethical as some required great scrutiny and others appointed (thereby limiting developmental opportunities for others), felt like working in a sweat shop with no autonomy. Feedback travels only one way (top down).

Pros

discounts, perks, benefits, and community events. I love my coworkers that aren’t in management.

Cons

lots of drama. I’ve been bullied and excluded by a handful of people, including managers. very much so the popular scene. tight scheduling. just updated policy. not many people are happy. have to abide by policy and no way around it for scheduling. dramatically less lenient with scheduling and expectations than when I started. very disappointed. seems they care more about the guest experience than the employee experience now.
