Pros

The pay is pretty high with great team commission. It's also nice that they pay a living wage (+$1) to those working in DC because the cost of living is so high. The store discount is also pretty bangin', not to mention free sweat sessions! Everything about "the hive" mentality is pretty fun and you work with driven amazing people.

Cons

You will be vastly over-worked. They follow an 80/20 framework meaning that 20% of your work for the store will take place off the retail floor doing other things to keep the business afloat, and you get one hour a week to complete that 20%. Don't expect to get paid for anything over that (and you will go over), be prepared to work for free for "the good of the team".

Pros

Compensation Culture Autonomy Product Benefits

Cons

If you can’t prioritize your time, it can be easy to feel out of balance. I feel that at times and need to shift but with a strong leader, there’s always support to do that.

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!
