Pros

Customer service, tools for creating customer loyalty, employees and customer relations. Great discount and bonus structure. Great tools for product training.

Cons

Upper management act unavailable and only judge you based on their visits. Perception is the only thing that drives your future. You are not allowed to be yourself, constantly compared to other managers. The longer managers have been there, the less open they are to new ideas. Constant behind your back talking. Your direct supervisor is the only person that you can really learn from and relate to. People stay for years and no movement, therefore, promotions are rare. Development is based on your own hands, so you never know when you are doing well or bad, until you get your review. Never enough time given to finish everything. Constant communication even on your days off. Favoritism is very apparent.

Pros

- fast paced days with lots of client interaction and team building moments - fun product dropped monthly with opportunities to be the first to own popular drops - opportunities to grow* - a great starting place to learn how to provide an elevated shopping experience and learn how to build a client book

Cons

- * Opportunities to grow only present themselves if you have a positive relationship with the management team and/or the DM - Corporate tends to lead on candidates and promise advancements or change verbally but little is done to correct behavior or advance within the company - Your store manager will determine whether the team is harmonious and fair, can be a double edged sword - you will be asked to do tasks or take on projects outside of your position with no additional compensation. It will be heavily frowned upon to decline said opportunities and tended to lead to being denied advancements - during ICE activities in the city, Coach refused to make a statement and or provide guidelines to how we as a store should respond. Associates were punished for absences related back to ICE activities
