Pros

The relationships I built with other store managers who also left the company to actually be valued

Cons

The negative reviews here speak volumes. Be mindful when you read positive comments. I’m sure they are doing them themselves. The negative comments that are spread out all over the country speak volumes who this company really is. Read the responses from HR on the negative posts, they are so childish it’s sickening, best part is they call themselves Christians.... when you use Jesus as a crutch you’re the worst kind of sinners. I really gave this company my heart, they kept me from my family and told me is was because I wasn’t an “effective” leader. But in all reality I was receiving 0 payroll hours to complete tasks that were impossible. I’m begging if you have any self worth please do not even waste your time with this company. 15 or so store leaders have quit in the last six weeks. Countless ASMs as well.

Thank you for your recent review. We wish you much success in the future and hope you find a career in which you can thrive. Having spent four years with the Company, we are surprised by your comments. We encourage every applicant to drop into a local store and speak with a Store Leader about their experience. The positive reviews on Glassdoor are not written by the Company and many submissions actually identify the leader and store by name. It is difficult to respond to an anonymous comment or about faith. Best of luck to you and we wish you a blessed summer!

Pros

Literally nothing, can’t think of one positive thing

Cons

I’ve been with the company for years and watching its continuous downfall has become almost comical. Two years ago we took major pay cuts (like 15%) because of the economy but this year they sent us to the Virgin Islands on this over the top meeting that must have cost a fortune. I’d rather have the money in my bank versus a trip I was forced to go on with senior leadership that are absolute horrific people in general and evil businesses people. It all felt like a big propaganda event with tons of videoing and picture taking so they could come home and post all over linked in and social media about how WONDERFUL it is to work there. Don’t even get me started on the new Little House on the Prairie denim dresses we have to wear because they hire managers that aren’t even strong enough to coach to a dress code. How can you run a store if you can’t even tell someone what they’re wearing inappropriate? Instead now we look like a bunch of little followers of the cult everyone already says it is. As long as we say we “stand out for good” at every opportunity it must mean it’s true right? To know who else brainwashed people into thinking bad things are good for them? CULT LEADERS.
