Pros

It used to be a great environment to work at. It used to be very laid back.

Cons

It is a low paid job and over workload. Management is poorly handling any situations. They hired too many executives which make it top heavy and not enough mid and entry level to actually work. They have been losing the core of the brand. The executives only care of the number and how much profits they can earn.

Pros

Mid-level and below employees are great. Casual work environment. Very Generous Health Benefits. Good discounts to the company's products. 401K is okay, but definitely not great, but they have one.

Cons

This used to be a great place to work. The new Senior Management that came in destroyed the place. Most long time people left. The morale is in the gutter, and no one really cares. They will stay on the ship until it ultimately sinks, or totally merges with Quiksilver and becomes a mall brand. The mid-level and below employees hate the Senior Management, because they are clueless and heartless. It's truly sad to see what has become of a formerly great place. Once they cut health benefits, people will stream out of there. The pay is not great, an there's no growth, and they always bring in from the outside instead of promoting from within. No training or career support of any kind exists. No skills development besides "Look up videos on the internet", (seriously that was the option they promoted).

Pros

Laid- back company , there was room to grow but only if your a favorite of the store manager.

Cons

Management and company working in a new direction,nobody really listen to your concerns and problems. All they care about is themselves with sales goal and aren't personable with staff.
