Pluspunten

Compensation is very generous. Work life balance is pretty good, better than a traditional retail job. Holiday pay, PTO, No holiday hours, like you would have in a traditional retail environment.

Minpunten

They micromanage everything you do, and track everything! From how many email addresses you obtain, to how often you use an ipad with customers. There is about 30 goals that you are held accountable to, on a daily basis. You never know what the business focus is, or their vision, because it changes on a daily basis. Whenever they roll out new initiatives, it is so unorganized They never set you up with the tools you need to do your job. Especially if you are a new hire, they just throw you in, and expect you to learn as you go. The sales goals are extreme and a lot of times unattainable. If you do not achieve your sales goal, they treat you like dirt, and make you feel like your store made 0 dollars, that week, even though you brought in thousands of dollars. They are constantly cutting payroll hours, leaving no associates to work on the sales floor, which upsets customers, and they wonder why they are losing 10,000 customers a year. It's because there is no one on the sales floor to help.

Pluspunten

when I first started it was a very employee based company. Great discounts, great benefits. Regional managers were swift to help if we had questions and offer support

Minpunten

Since last year the environment has changed vastly. They no longer care about the employees and only want results. They have raised prices and insurances dont cover as well as they used to and they expect the managers to just force people to buy. If you dont make your monthly goals youre put on a PIP and the Regionals are constantly threatening you to make them. The work life balance does not exist. There is a group chat with your fellow store managers hosted by the Regional and if its your day off they still expect a response. I know it comes from the top down but the micromanaging has gotten so awful. Down to the minute you must be scheduled correctly. I have been here for 3 years and have never had a positive review even though our store has exceeded its goals. Doesnt matter to them, they expect more and more. They raise goals constantly and the only answer they have for making sure we hit those goals is no one leaves, even though they can get the same product from a competitor at a much lower cost.
