Pros

Most people are really nice and the atmosphere is fun. They have an open door policy, so this is helpful to help network and for career growth.

Cons

Compensation is not competitive with similar positions with other companies. There is a lot of "politics" and favoritism.The company claims to promote from within, but many external candidates have been job offered over long time internal employees that have been mislead into believing that they will be given the opportunity. Also, leadership has been on a trend to add more responsibilities without really understanding how it changes the role.

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.
