Pros

Very sweet, kind humans working for the brand. Everyone feels a natural sense of joy coming into work. Clothing is great. Employee perks, health-plan and PTO are great.

Cons

There are a handful of leaders, whom have been at the company for an extended period of time (15+ years) that add to a toxic work culture. Opinions are not shared and when new ideas are brought to the table they are oftentimes shut down by these individuals. They also hired (surprise, surprise) an interim (white, male) CMO for a company and team who was predominantly 90% female-based and requiring better diversity. Talk about a lack of proper representation.

Pros

Very black & white on policies. You always know what is right or wrong.Operationally strong company that allows movement between brands. Decent pay if you advocate for yourself as an external, but don’t expect much once you’re in.

Cons

Company has changed direction so much since COVID. Seems like there’s no clear idea on who we are anymore.Senior leadership feels like a revolving door that only succeeds in spinning tires with no traction. We love to initiate something only to either sunset it months later or leave it in limbo(WellPro). The amount of stress pushed on stores to meet credit goals is absurd to the point it inspires unethical behaviors in certain stores.
