Pros

Pockets of good people, and there is a focus on improving process and tools.

Cons

The organization is a mix of all of the bad cultural parts of other local companies, one that struggles to attract talent. Bonus structure is fake - in the multiple years working here I've never had a bonus remotely close to 100%. Pay is not competitive and benefits are awful.

Pros

Decent base pay, somewhat autonomous, great tip potential.

Cons

The company has changed for the worse since COVID. When I came back the mood of the entire store had shifted. Gone were the days of comradery, customer focus, and taking pride in a job well done. In its place there is a new culture of cutthroat sales, a severe decline in customer focus, and worst of all a new focus on profit over customer satisfaction. When I was told that the amount the store charged for a shoe shine was not enough to do the best job I could for a customer I knew things had gone downhill for the company. Not to mention I watch a manager prey on a mentally disabled person in order to secure a sale, when the person could not understand what was being offered. Sad that such a once great company is now just another greed ridden corporation.
