Pros

The employees in store are the only good thing about this company. The products attract a lot of kind and interesting people to work with the company.

Cons

Corporate is the worst team of people. Lazy. They dont care about anything other than sales. There is nothing anywhere to prove that the company does any sort of ethical trading. I worked an entire year and saw absolutely no evidence of any ethical trading happening or even heard about it. I started out as a keyholder and was not trained for that position. Was promoted to Assistant and was not trained. I was promoted to Store Manager and was trained at an absolute minimum. My DM was only concerned about me training employees to make sales and completely neglected that our stores stockroom was full of old clearance that had been sitting there for an entire year. I worked nearly 50 hours every week and don't have a dime to show for it, the pay is awful. I had no time for myself outside of work because my days off consisted of directing my assistant on what to do while I was not in the store. Senior management is a joke, the training was poor. Overall a terrible experience.
