Pros

A lot of great people work at the Head Office, environment is very laid back, casual setting. Also the hours are pretty standard 8 hour day.

Cons

Where to begin, I will only speak to what I know and that the management I had was absolutely the worse. Not that I didn't make any mistakes while performing my job, I did...I was new to the retail world. My management decided to in a passive aggressive way threaten my job after 2 weeks of employment. They claim "attention to detail" as their worry, yet will not show specific examples. They said my attitude sucked, well maybe if you got to know your team member you would known that those comments or non verbal expressions were being miscommunicated. Instead we are going to threaten your job after 2 weeks. Needless to say when I brought my concerns up to management about how I felt and bringing solutions to the table about the communication piece, I was terminated the next day. I was never formally trained on my job, no documented administrative actions, never late...but yet I was not worth keeping.

Good people on the team makes it an enjoyable place to work. Competitive pay and good PTO policy.

Under resourced, a bit top heavy in terms of personnel. Healthcare plan is not the best
