Pros

Employee First Culture. Not just a mantra but it is living and breathing in each store. Foundation principles that drive successful business interaction every day. Fun work environment which really does drive an Air of excitement. Kip is an amazing CEO. His business philosophy and Conscious Capitalism driven thought process constantly drive a successful, profitable and employee centric busieness. Going public has really driven TCS closer together. I feel blessed to be part of it. Thank you.

Cons

The company is growing and there are certain pains but overall it is a wonderful place to work and be part of everyday.

Pros

Everyone from director level on down in my department was great. Very collaborative. Gave you autonomy to do and try new things.

Cons

Where do I start…Sr. Leadership is TERRIBLE. I mean absolutely horrific. No direction and plans were changing at the drop of a dime after the BB&B “merger”. You could feel the shift in the culture, just NASTY attitudes and taking the employees for granted. The new CEO and the rest of Sr. level execs acted like everyone was just expendable workhorses. They touted reopening the headquarters cafe as some awesome benefit so they could bring people back to the office full time. If you’re going to be bullish and require everyone back, have some guts and just do it. But don’t act like a cafe is some life changing benefit to get everyone excited. Anyway, blind leading the blind. The merit increase or raises - non existent. No 401k match. Nothing positive because the company is so broke. The new store concept sounds a mess. Save yourself and don’t even apply, let alone accept an offer. Joel Bines is no longer the CEO. He was a great guy and I think he had great ideas. Marcus Lemonis is the new CEO and I would give him a thumbs down.
