Avantages
This company attracts some of the best personalities. I’ve made some lifelong friends and been inspired by some amazing people. I’ve gotten to express my creativity and learn how to run a whole brick and mortar operation. I have learned skills I can transfer almost anywhere. I also love that there’s no BS about respecting pronouns and identity. I love being a safe space for customers and employees.
Inconvénients
It’s retail so it’s retail wages. There have been a lot of program implementations and new skill requirements that aren’t expected of other retail SMs over the years. I once had a new manager tell me that HT managers are overqualified for other SM positions simply based on the amount of reporting and payroll regulation we do.
