Pros

I loved my co-workers and the work I was doing

Cons

I am a naturally sick person, and my for my job I was able to do it remotely as it was a hybrid model job. But on one occasion, I felt too sick to make the hour drive ( didn't think driving feeling dizzy would be safe) and asked my manager if it was ok if I worked from home that day. She responded with "if you can work at home you can work in the office", so I instead took the day off. On another occasion I got sick at the office ( I puked in the bathroom), and I had told the same manager and she responded with "this isn't ideal". So I left for home afterwards only after she told me I had to send a doctors note if I wasn't going to come home the next day--which my doctor then informed me wasn't legal for manager to ask of me. My manager in general is what made me quit my job, I never felt comfortable and she made me feel bad about getting sick which was never in my control.

Pros

20% off discount on top of sale as long as it doesn't go past 70% off of original price. Trauma bonding with coworkers.

Cons

140 hours max to operate stores (40 of those for store manager thats labeled as salaried so they can force them to work more but still have the clock in and out as an hourly employee) . Stores are open to public 75 hours a week. Add another 7 hours for the half hour to open and close each day. LP policy states you can't be alone in the building. Minimum, not including needing a third person to cover breaks, it requires 164 hours. To make up for payroll they've limited the amount of clothing items that require sensors, leading to even more theft on top of what's occuring due to one employee working at a time. Pay for store management is 37% under average pay for the roll at similar retailers. They will say "something exciting is coming" and dangle promotions/positions that don't exist when asking for pay increases. Favoritism has kept several inappropriate people in positions they should have been fired from years ago. Oh and back to pay, the bonus structure is only there so that they aren't required to pay you the minimum amount that is required in your area to legally be considered a salaried employee due to it not being an in office position.
