terrible pay, upper management makes poor decisions, everyone is a temp, low pay for workers so you can get everyone from Henderson who wash out after a few weeks.

Pros

Company as a whole has amazing beliefs, Cruelty free and fair trade. Products are excellent, and the employee discount is pretty great too.

Cons

Upper management is an ungodly nightmare. The regional manager was rude, unprofessional, uncommunicative with employees, and generally unfit for her position. No manager willing to use personal insults, nor willing to control their emotions towards employees and customers, should be manager. At least two stores in the district are dangerously under-employed and in horrible conditions (we're talking one employee for an entire store, 12-18 hour shifts 7 days a week all by themselves). There is a refusal for direct communication about anything, including payments and hours worked.
