Pros

Really flexible PTO and Work from home policy

Cons

Engineering department feels very unorganized and unprofessional. There is essentially no on-boarding process for new hires, which can lead to you feeling loss for months before learning the ropes. The engineering department prides itself on having a "go-getter" culture, which only works for more tenured engineers who fully understand the system. There is a young staff which can make it feel like high school/college at times with gossip and clicks. There is little to no diversity in senior level engineering roles. There is a lot of uncertainty in what work needs to be done at any given time which can be very alarming. No 401k match for first year of employment.

Pros

Decent base pay, somewhat autonomous, great tip potential.

Cons

The company has changed for the worse since COVID. When I came back the mood of the entire store had shifted. Gone were the days of comradery, customer focus, and taking pride in a job well done. In its place there is a new culture of cutthroat sales, a severe decline in customer focus, and worst of all a new focus on profit over customer satisfaction. When I was told that the amount the store charged for a shoe shine was not enough to do the best job I could for a customer I knew things had gone downhill for the company. Not to mention I watch a manager prey on a mentally disabled person in order to secure a sale, when the person could not understand what was being offered. Sad that such a once great company is now just another greed ridden corporation.
