Pros

-I use to like the product and style -the discount

Cons

So many to list: -management uses psychological bullying tactics -they expect you to do work above your pay grade but refuse to promote/pay you appropriately -no work/life balance -if you don't have full availability (basically 9am-9pm, 7 days a week) you are looked down on and penalized, even if you want one night off a week to take a class. While managers are allowed to do this and make schedules to fit their own needs -not given the legal amount of time between shifts -sometimes made to work 10 days in a row -management reviews are inconsistent and based on favouritism and not your actual work -constantly been promised coaching in order to advance and then never receiving it, they can keep you on the hook of the promise of advancement for months/years on end -gossip culture in stores and in between stores in the district -high turnover, especially of managers -inconsistent and time consuming warranty and repair policies/process

Pros

-Diverse and inclusive -Free gym -My immediate team is great. They're supportive and really seem to care about our wellbeing and morale -Casual dress code

Cons

-It's retail, we're on a sinking ship and have been for the last decade with slow turnaround -Took away additional hybrid day despite no actual need to be in office (4x a week) in which we sit on video calls with remote teams -Compromise safety during severe weather despite area school closures -FREQUENT layoffs (have been 2x a year for the last several years) -Below average compensation (I've been told by previous management that it's lower by thousands of $$) -HR will say one thing in writing to avoid outrage then follow a completely different directive -Work life balance used to be more flexible since CEO takeover -Frequent promotions for senior leadership but few for those in the lower levels
