Cons

-Mid-level leadership sometimes had unrealistic expectations -Not enough guidance on how to achieve target performance -Upward mobility was challenging -Although the starting pay is higher than typical for local retail jobs, it's still below the $21/hr living wage for the city, based on a single adult 0 child household on the MIT Living Wage Calculator

Pros

If you are looking for a job that you’ll be a part of a fun team environment, have the ability to learn all about customer “guest” service, retail operations and sales, as well as merchandising even at entry level great opportunity. for such a large corporation I have been pleasantly surprised by how tight knit teams are. applying was okay, there were multiple steps (videos, assessments) but overall not too bad)., phone call and then video questions before hiring.

Cons

Pay isn’t great, but for the market it’s fair. Moving up involves a much larger increase in responsibilities and workload relative to the pay increase.
