Pros

You will make great friends, because you bond as you navigate the awful environment.

Cons

This company does not care about your emotional or physical well being. After leaving Academy, I was able to discontinue all emotional support medications and love a healthier and happier life. Example - the corporate office was 2.5 weeks behind the rest of the city of Houston with letting their employees work remotely. And then less than three weeks later, furloughed most of them. So are they essential or not? No considerations for those giving 110%. Be ready to play “the game” if you want to stay employed.

Pros

The easiest thing about job is the work itself.

Cons

The upper management is horrible on every level. They don’t care enough to even give job interviews, so you don’t know what to expect on your first day. Expect someone to not train you, but aggressively micromanage you and let you know what you do is wrong but not show how to do anything correctly. I’ve never seen a retail place operate so “by the books” but will make up rules on the spot when it’s most convenient for them. There is a severe lack of communication and care all around, partly from a lot of the managers being on different parts of the spectrum. The senior employees will also take out their home life problems out on you bc they’re jealous you got more credit card applications than them. Don’t work here unless you enjoy high school petty drama from ladies that have worked 30+ years in retail.
