Pros

Discount is great and the store is furnished nicely.

Cons

High pressure sales quotas yet the sales floor employees don't go to the register so often don't get credit for their sales. Management is confrontational and use intimidation techniques during "touch base" meetings which can last over 30 minutes long with awkward silences. They don't assume the best, and act like you're being dishonest. They don't motivate or encourage. They tell you one thing in the interviews, but its a whole different story once you work there. BEWARE!!! Deceptive employment tactics are at work here.

Pros

• Strong brand recognition and a loyal customer base. • Employee discount and sample sales are excellent perks. • Talented and hardworking teams across many functions.

Cons

• Work-life balance is extremely challenging, particularly at the leadership level. Long hours and constant availability are often expected rather than the exception. • The culture can feel transactional and driven by a "got you" mentality rather than collaboration, coaching, and development. • Favoritism and nepotism are noticeable and can create inconsistent standards across teams and individuals. • Leadership accountability is lacking. Expectations are often high, but accountability is not always applied equally across the organization. • Decision-making can feel political, with perception carrying more weight than actual performance or results. • There is a significant gap between the company's external messaging and the internal employee experience. While the brand publicly champions women and female empowerment, many employees may find that the internal culture does not consistently reflect those values in practice. • Transparency, integrity, and trust can be lacking, which contributes to an environment where employees may feel unsupported or undervalued.
