Pros

Access to discounts make some day to day worth it

Cons

The turnover at this business is very high. Reason? Primarily it works like a pyramid with the manager owner in all of his faults delegating down to other owners that have to put up with it. I have personally sat in meetings where I had to rush to hit record on my device simply because of how upset other owners were towards the managing owner. He claims to be "neurodiverse" but actually employees tend to find out that this is a front for him to hide his behavior behind. He has a tendency of randomly taking otherwise positive and productive conversations and completely going wild, ESPECIALLY IF the conversation is not praising his "amazing genius" in some way, giving him credit, or (dare I say it) does not completely align with his holy vision. The other owners also play the good/bad cop cards. And unfortunately I've witnessed many employees find out that their otherwise private conversations where they expressed their concerns get shared to the rest of the managers, leading in a bandwagon that results in the employee being run out or fired. This constant revolving door is often hush hush and references or conversations about it are met with swift warnings and writeups. Others here have echoed similar issues, but at the core or this lies a real man-child and the only managers and individuals with tenure are the ones who play yes men, praise his holiness, or otherwise spend every moment to appear invisible. Having spent time in both the warehouse and store, I am confident this is simply a house of cards.

Pros

There is nothing good about working here.

Cons

A horrible company run by an egotistical narcissist. Any criticism is deemed a fireable offense. Management is filled with spineless, brown-nosing cowards, too afraid to stand up for their employees as they are treated like dirt by customers and executives alike. Loyalty will get you nothing. No raises, no recognition, nothing besides a much higher workload with no compensation. Only rewards offered are to those who are close, long time friends with management. If you are not, you are worthless to them. The lowest employees are treated like disposable machines, despite being given more work than the managers that oversee them. If you work hard, you will be taken advantage of. Communication is nonexistent and more often than not, customers will be notified of changes and news through a Discord server before employees, leaving them unaware and unprepared for the inevitable fall out and hostility from customers. Management brags constantly about the growth of the company but will let the stores go understaffed and employees overworked and underpaid. They flaunt their horrible management and will label any criticism as a personal attack. They will always play victim when flaws in the company are brought to light. Then they will fire the one who brought it up. In their own words, they will fire people when they're in a bad mood. This company has the highest turnover rate of any place I have worked, and management will refuse to acknowledge this and change for the better. From the executives to the customers, this place is filled with disgusting lowlifes. If you enjoy being a blind Yes Man, then this is the job for you.
