Pros

Most of my co-workers were wonderful.

Cons

Favoritism and bullying reign high at Popshelf. The current incarnation of the store resembles nothing of the team dynamic I was hired into. Store and district management are unprofessional at best. Employees who resist persistent criticism, nitpicking, undermining behavior, and rudeness are viewed as the problem, and receive no support. In fact, there seems to be a desire to rid the store of people who object to such treatment while the individual responsible is protected. I was bullied into quitting by store management. When I reported this to district management I received a cold, dismissive response, so evidently district management is supportive of bullying tactics. If you’re looking for the work culture Popshelf claims to value (“a culture that celebrates success, empowers individuals, and fosters a sense of teamwork”), you won’t find it here.

Pros

This job was a dream come true. I love the atmosphere, what the company strived for, the cute displays. I didn't even mind the fast paced work and constant overbearing work-load. I thought it was fun, a constant race against time against the new truck that would come and clog our backroom the next week. This place paid me very well but only because of the STL that hired me in believed in hiring for retainment and offered a great starting pay.

Cons

Confused Corporate. They would constantly send two or three different display sets and then decide all of them were supposed to go in the same place yet not allow mixing of sets. The culture is incredibly cliquey, if you're not in with upper management, you're out. You will get the cold shoulder, they will refuse to speak to you. If you perform poorly in their eyes you will hear about it but only because upper management thought it was appropriate to approach part-timers and associates instead of communicating directly. It's incredibly childish and high-school like.
