Pluspunten

Great people at the store level, Elfa is an amazing system, phenomenal training for prime-time associates.

Minpunten

Non-existent training for new managers. The Foundation Principles are being ignored and associates are being treated unfairly. Upper management is still saying things have not changed since the company went public, however it is obvious that the only thing that matters now is the bottom line. In management, the GM will be defended no matter how bad they are or what they do. No room for advancement from prime-time to full-time and no growth for managers.

Pluspunten

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

Minpunten

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.
