Pros

There are small pockets of amazing people. The vacation buy program for corporate employees is helpful for working parents. The wellness center is convenient and cost effective.

Cons

Over time, we’ve seen many of our top performers leave or be let go. It seems that employees who are adept at navigating office politics or who return as interns often advance more quickly, regardless of their work ethic or intelligence. Those who challenge strategic decisions in pursuit of better outcomes feel undervalued and often ignored. Loyalty and dedication do not translate into higher pay or promotion opportunities. The company’s use of the word “agile” is an excuse for the company’s consistent short-term strategic vision/inability to follow an aligned strategic vision.

Pros

(Mostly) amazing coworkers and flexible schedule most of the time. Good part time job for college students. Pay was decent.

Cons

Very limited full-time positions, leaves little room for career opportunities. Terrible team environment, feels like a fend for yourself fiasco everyday. I didn’t feel as if my managers or anyone at corporate really cared about any employees and it was just the employees caring for each other. Training times were wildly short, usually only a short shift or two on each area to train (registers, floor, bopus, etc). Corporate is difficult to get in touch with even for customers and they WILL take it out on you and management at any level does not seem to care.
