Pros

decent pay for retail, health benefits, sweaty pursuits, decent discount

Cons

-lots of favoritism from managers to employees. -no type of leniency/grace period. if you’re 1 min late it’s documented as an infraction. -managers are usually rude -takes themselves way too seriously for retail. -little to no hours, unless you’re one of the favorites you probably won’t be scheduled as often -really, really, entitled rude customers -lots of theft and nothing done about it. you’re expected to deal with it, little to no training on how to approach such situations. -lack of diversity within team -racism towards customers.. -lots of drama within coworkers, everyone talks about each other -will fire long-time employees in order to make room for newer ones. -extreme micromanaging from managers/GELs. you're expected to ALWAYS agree with customers and basically do anything to get on their good side, even if they are clearly wrong. -fake positive bs policies/work culture that really rubs you the wrong way.

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!
