Pros

Your coworkers are amazing people who will keep you going. The job used to be easy. The hours are nice and you will learn a lot, just not from trainers or managers, you'll learn form the other people on the floor working with you.

Cons

The company started bringing in investors and now two of them are managing departments even though is doesn't seem like they're qualified to do so. It is clear that the customer service departement is about to be dissolved by and go to online only, but they only want that if you're willing to work on site because they spent millions on the building and don't want to feel like the space was a waste of money to invest in. We were work from home for 3 years and then early 2023 it was mandatory for all of customer service to go back in the building but no other department was required to do so. They fired two managers in 2023 but didn't replace them and now can't find anyone to take the role. The director of customer service and the director of operations hate each other and one or both are actively trying to get the other one fired. They keep promoting people to supervisor and the demoting them or firing people outright. It is clear that the customer service department is dying and it seems like this is Miti's plan. She will tell you otherwise but it's because she is afraid of everyone quitting at once.

Pros

-the people I work with are amazing -free breakfast meetings -nice environment -team goals

Cons

-the pay is absolutely trash, they promise you will hit all goals in your interview but you never do because they are OUTRAGEOUS and unattainable so you basically are making hourly rates that you can make at a grocery store. The only stores that make goal are new ones that have no LY to base them off of -absolutely no diversity in the sales team, everyone is white and they don’t even interview poc people for store roles, only warehouse positions. -no room for growth. If you’re in sales you either can go on to lighting design or management but you can only be considered for management if you promise to relocate your entire life -outdated, old POS systems

Pros

I guess the health benefits but that's about it these days

Cons

- Excessive workload for the amount of people still employed in customer service. - Unrealistic production expectations. - Retaliation from superiors (NOT an open door company) - Increased drama from female superiors - Constant restructuring with no training in whatever position you are moved to - No more promotions..you'll likely never leave customer service - My interview promises were never met and the owner doesn't actually care anymore
