Avantages

Coworkers very smart, capable, hardworking, cool people. Generous employee discount Excellent initial training Not having to check in with a manager before making a customer happy Learned a lot about organization and storage solutions

Inconvénients

Very demanding physical labor While the discount is awesome, you won't make enough to afford most of the products Must pretend you believe in the corporate Kool-Aid enough to fly under the radar and do your job without being harassed Constant pressure to sell Elfa, whether customers needed/wanted it or not Impossible to have any continuity with your work hours (work until 10pm, then come in at 4:45am the next morning for a merchandise processing shift? Awesome! Who needs sleep?!) Management style is very passive-aggressive Management/FT MP shift leaders constantly micromanaging for the sake of micromanagement

Avantages

Everyone from director level on down in my department was great. Very collaborative. Gave you autonomy to do and try new things.

Inconvénients

Where do I start…Sr. Leadership is TERRIBLE. I mean absolutely horrific. No direction and plans were changing at the drop of a dime after the BB&B “merger”. You could feel the shift in the culture, just NASTY attitudes and taking the employees for granted. The new CEO and the rest of Sr. level execs acted like everyone was just expendable workhorses. They touted reopening the headquarters cafe as some awesome benefit so they could bring people back to the office full time. If you’re going to be bullish and require everyone back, have some guts and just do it. But don’t act like a cafe is some life changing benefit to get everyone excited. Anyway, blind leading the blind. The merit increase or raises - non existent. No 401k match. Nothing positive because the company is so broke. The new store concept sounds a mess. Save yourself and don’t even apply, let alone accept an offer. Joel Bines is no longer the CEO. He was a great guy and I think he had great ideas. Marcus Lemonis is the new CEO and I would give him a thumbs down.
