Pros

They fit you for a bra during training

Cons

-Toxic, negative environment (5th ave, nyc) -ridiculously high sales goal per hour -very competitive, people will steal your sales -training took 3 days and I learned nothing besides the "values" of the company...which are not practiced outside of training -no grace period...living in NYC managers know the MTA is bad and they do not care -everyone is scared of management -mandatory meetings on days you are not scheduled to work...are still mandatory if you requested off/are unavailable that day because of school or a second job. -discount is really bad

Pros

Have met some amazing coworkers. Brand itself is fun.

Cons

Sudden Return to Work mandate 3 days in NY or OH SIX years after COVID. Any current employees outside of those states are being let go if they don’t uproot their lives and relocate. Many employees in those states built their lives around what seemed to be a permanent remote flexibility arrangement (most companies went back in 23). When Hillary Super came on she even stated in one of her first Q&A’s on remote work that where people do their jobs wasn’t a big concern for her as long as we continued to drive the business forward. The business is doing the best it ever has in the last five years. Leadership reasoning for mandate is continuing to fall flat. Mandate came absolutely out of NOWHERE.
