Pros

One weekend off a month 2 weeks vacation 2x a year decent pay for retail role some people in corporate are hard working, and helpful

Cons

constant changes in corporate leads to miscommunication don't expect positive feedback or recognition- theres always constructive criticism though. expectations for management are high a lot of clique with managers and the corporate team, so if you are not good with someone from corporate, you have to work much harder even if you perform better they know how to push people out if needed (I have seen it done) Human resources is not "open door/confidential" like it should be discount for managers is a sad 15%- and you are expected to wear one in-season piece as part of your outfit.

Pros

There aren’t many pros, pretty chill coworkers I suppose

Cons

Managment is a mess, filled with people who really don’t know what they’re doing and they have empolyees who’s sole purpose is being on their phones and not working, the “GM” is a wreck and doesn’t know how to properly soeak to people as she believes she’s above everyone, and regional isn’t much better
