Pros

Good pay for retail, bnot at the associate level though.

Cons

- Faking it till you make it is a skill that is valued above hard work and dependability. - They want worker bees with hive minds who will drink the kool aid, not independent thinkers with ideas. - They go on and on about their commitment to values but when it comes time to step up to the plate and deliver upon them the path of least resistance is taken. - Every manager I ever met there is absolutely miserable. But remember, you have to have fake cheer, a bs smile on your face, and a positive lilt to your voice. And don;t forget your kool-aid! Miserty with a smile and a fake positive attitude is creepy. - They celebrate mediocrity. I witnessed someone get promoted to another location because it was easier than firing him, witnessed numerous policy violations rack up without documentation and termination, and an abusive co-worker allowed to run rampant because, I don't know why, still trying to figure that one out. - Be ready to kiss some butt if you want to get ahead here.

Pros

As a supervisor you can control the work environment to the best of your ability to make the store a great place to be for customers/coworkers. Pay is at a decent starting level for the position.

Cons

Basic Associates only accrue PTO creating issues with Work/Life balance unless you've made it a long time without needing to take a day. Attendance Point System is unforgiving without readily available PTO. As management differs between stores experiences may vary.
