Pros

+discount +get dibs on new products +get free products when new items come out +good if you want a little extra cash

Cons

+almost NO hours +CALL INS- this is the biggest waste of time. You can't make any plans on days that you have scheduled call ins and then you need to call the store an hour before and see if they need you (they never need you when you haven't made plans and when you have plans they ALWAYS use your call in) +you really don't get paid much per hour and until you are a co or store manager you don't even get any benefits at all +you get forced to bombard people and get them to buy more stuff even if you hate having people do it to you +floorsets are a pain and your availability excludes them so you will still get scheduled for them even if you cannot work on sundays

Generous pay for management, paid holidays and maternity leave for full timers, good benefits. Treats us more like humans than any other business I’ve ever worked for

Cons

Work/life balance can be hard, especially around the holidays

Pros

We offer two fully remote weeks per year, in addition to three designated in‑person days.

Cons

The organization lacks a cohesive strategy and shows persistent resistance to change despite declining stock performance over the past several years. Our product and marketing efforts are no longer resonating with consumers, leadership effectiveness is inconsistent, and there are no defined career pathways for performers. Teams often work long hours due to constant rework and unclear direction. Firing the Chief Marketing Officer and Chief Merchandising Officer have been some of the few genuinely strong decisions. They were terrible, outdated, and caused swirl.
