Red/khaki propaganda

Pros

Very good at brainwashing their new hires.

Cons

No work-life balance As an ETL expected to work 12 hr days. ETL meetings are to bash TLs and TMs,and prepare "exit strategies" ie how to fire people. Very "in-crowd"focused. Brown-nosers get promoted . Health benefits... It's a joke. Employee premiums are very high and coverage mediocre. They bully and discriminate Campus recruits... Overpaid divas with no experience.

Store team lead

Pros

Salary, in store camaraderie, fast pace. Guests are great for the mist part. DTL only visits if they feel their job is in jeopardy otherwise your on your own.

Cons

Everything is flavor of the month and politics. DTL and group leadership will tell you to focus on one thing exclusively then chastise you for doing so.... Very confusing disjointed leadership. Politics are all that matter for promotion or recognition. Be prepared to have your opinion asked for but then be told you are wrong!? Why even ask? Stores are accountable for everything, the buyers didn't buy enough product? Why didn't you fix it. Payroll is constantly cut but your told guest service is number one priority!! No payroll but interact with every guest, really how does that work!

Pros

The team members and team development as well as having a highly interactive work day not stuck in a cubicle.

Cons

The expectations are overbearing and unless you want to work 60+ hours a week are relatively unattainable. It is highly political as so many places are and difficult to get promoted unless someone takes interest in you early on or someone is on your side at the district level.
