      Pros

      There are no pros for this company

      Cons

      As a manager you have to use your personal email address set up and post jobs on Indeed in order to recruit for your location. Corporate provides no support in the area of recruiting. All types of labor laws are broken, if your store is not staffed, you will work open to close every day. There are times that you will work 30 or 40 days in a row with no days offs. As a manager you are required to close 3 days a week. There are so many black out times that you are unable to take your vacation and are forced to lose those earned hours. The district manager lies to cover herself, she regularly edits applications and has applicants revise their resume so that can get hired. Speaking of hiring... corporate requires a person to have several years of management experience just to be a key holder. They hire people out of desperation because upper management is so bad that many times an entire store team will walk out at one time. There is no microwave or refrigerator , no place to sit and take a break so if you are in the store working open to close you have no access to food or drink. If you take a 15 minute break you are not aloud to leave the store or upper management says you are stealing time from the company.

      Pros

      Great store team and manager Great employee discount

      Cons

      This company is all about the bottom line and has no loyalty to their employees. Even long standing ones. You can work your butt off with absolutely no recognition or incentives. No table or chairs in “break room” to sit down. Overall, if your looking for a short term job to make some extra money it is great. I wouldn’t expect any growth, even if you put in the time and hard work. Bummer.

      Pros

      Great discount on beautiful items. Making operational a visual standards universal, which is AWESOME. Great stepping stone for management. Wonderful customers. It's great to see how much you help someone, doing their least favorite thing. Heavily invested in role playing material and product knowledge.

      Cons

      The stepping stone thing, it's only to gain a title, but won't actually prepare you for what that title would mean in any other company. So beware if you think you can just go somewhere else with that same title. Erratic attempts at universal planning, which can mess with scheduling. Not enough guidance and trust given to core management within stores. Bonus structure for anyone not an assistant or above is laughable and patronizing. Base pay is equivalent to low end retailers that give a thousand times more leniency on self expression. Recruiting is grueling because of this and makes me think this company doesn't know it's competition in the labor world.
