Pros
The pros of this company are definitely some of the people. They have some of the best working for them in certain areas, especially their HR and LP departments. Another pro is the visual freedom allotted to stores. Having the opportunity to express visuals without complete dictation coming in, and they provided visual managers as well recently.
Cons
Some cons are the same as the pros. The cons I saw in my history include some of the higher ups not valuing employees and making their voices heard. There is not a great work-life balance when you are employed in management. You are expected to take work more importantly that your personal life. Also, they do not allot much payroll to stores in order for them to complete the tasks they are given. You cannot task during store hours, which I did not agree with. No employee should need to stay for longer than their 10 hour shift to finish something that can be done during slower business hours. More can be accomplished and you have a happier employee base if you can finish these tasks at another point in time. Most of the things that needed "immediate action", did not actually NEED immediate action either. The last con, is that the company is disorganized in my opinion as a whole. They are growing and working out kinks, but at the end of the day they only care about the dollar amount from what I have observed. You cannot "encourage" people with words, then take them back because they did not perform as well. They hold some stores to a somewhat unachievable goal, and do not encourage as they should or understand the big picture. No employee should fear their corporate office, and I feel as though in my time with the company I feared them more than I ever felt encouraged by them.
