Pros

I don't have any pros.

Cons

Terrible management. Constant turn-over because they don't pay their people enough to live on, and everyone is squeezed. The business concept is good, and the product offering is high quality, but its a big farce. Living in the San Francisco Bay Area, making $15/ hour to hand out my knowledge that I am still paying off (or not) school loans to have acquired is more than an insult.

Pros

Corporate office is mostly fun place to work. You will work long hours though.

Cons

Back in 2016 a new CEO was hired. He did a big restructure and laid off many seasoned workers with no discretion at the advice of his CFO. The two are like peas in a bad decision making pod. After these layoffs many experienced employees left on their own. IT, HR and Finance were devastated. Now, every eliminated position has been added back. Management realized its failures but is scrambling to undo the damage. Until there is a restructure at the very top things are not likely to improve. Don't go near retail. The stores are understaffed and the staff is under paid. Benefits are at the low end. Management hires part time to avoid benefits, and days are shortened to prevent OT. Stores are open 363 days a year. Keep that in mind!
