Pros

The workout benefits are my favorite. They pay for your fitness classes. The amount varies full-time to part-time. The culture is amazing. I see how from the outside it could look cult like - but everyone within the company genuinely cares about your personal well being and the goals you want to achieve in life. Also, day to day work on the retail floor is FUN! I'm sure it depends on the store you're in but I've never been to a store where the employees weren't having a blast. Base pay is great for retail.

Cons

It's mostly female employees so there is bound to be drama and background conversations. When there is an employee that doesn't meet the standards they won't fire them. You are supposed to develop them to be better instead. Room for advancement isn't the best. Once you hit key leader your are pretty much capped unless someone dies. Management rarely changes. They recently restructured commission and I feel like we make less than before.

Pros

The benefits with the sweaty Pursuits is good and the insurance is good too! You get a team that you get to put together and get to know them and see what works for you guys to be successful in a processing shift!

Cons

The nights are long and very overworked. They ask a lot from you and usually they put the business before you. It’s always we need this and that from the managers but not actually taking time to help or to actually see that we are trying our best and if they actually worked a shift with us and saw the struggles they would understand more. They think it’s easy, when the weight of the store depends on us. You are also qualified as a Guest Experience lead since you have to do both trainings so the management do over utilise that and you will be doing two jobs. Even though it says in the description to support the floor but there’s a difference between supporting from time to time and doing it all the time where you are running the floor and the back at the same time but they’ll say “oh why isn’t this done?” Maybe because you’ve told me to help you out ? The are also very selective about who moves up to be a manager. No work life balance at all!
