Pros

-Discount -Excellent retail processes - Pay is Average

Cons

-Clique work culture - Management bullies staff, they have been seen to make impressions at staff managers will shout at you in front of other staff members even if you were following instructions. Management will call out team members over ear pieces so other staff can hear any wrong doing. Managers have the impression that they do nothing wrong and everything is the staff members fault. - Very high employee turnover - 90% of staff dislike managers due to the way the get treated - rosters finalised 2 days before the working week therefore it is difficult to have a work life balance - leaders will video record staff on personal phones and store iPod of you doing tasks to provide you negative feedback. - You get treated like a child with a high regard of micro-management. - These issues are consistent in multiple stores

Pros

Great Benefits. Better than most companies. Pay is good for your role in the management realm. Sales Associates also receive better pay than other retail companies.

Cons

No Work/life balance Little to no promotional opportunities unless you're favored by management or your mother works there. (The staff notices) Promotions are based on passing an exam and then an interview of the US CEO. If they don't like your interview, you don't get promoted. Specialty team managers don't get pay increases unless your title changes which can take several years. They force you to take your PTO, but deny it when you submit it, claiming "business needs."
