Pros

Great company to work for if you like to be on your feet and meeting new people. Discount and other perks are great.

Cons

Working holidays and retail hours can be tiring at times. It's hard to move up the ranks fast. Have to be well liked to even be considered. Not about just getting the job done but looking good doing it and being popular amongst the staff.

Pros

There are a lot of talented, hardworking people at this company, which makes recent leadership decisions even more frustrating.

Cons

Communication around major organizational changes has been vague and inconsistent, leaving employees with significant uncertainty and little confidence in the direction of the business. Morale has declined considerably. Many employees feel that years of experience, performance, and institutional knowledge are being undervalued in favor of rigid policies and top-down decision making.
