I was employed at the home office for a while and left due to the pathetic pay and lack of care from the owners. I enjoyed working there at first but it has the same issues many other small businesses have. They had a great idea for their business but do not value employees unless they are one of the favorites or a family member/friend. Many of the members of the owners family worked there and it was obvious how much they got away with because of their relation. The owners were absent often either because they were traveling to other store locations or because they went golfing or had to take another family vacation. 
The owners enjoyed drama between employees. There was no HR and they desperately needed it. It was cliquey and morale was low. Everyone wanted to be in favor of the owners and they were willing to put others down to get to the top. Those who challenged the status quo and saw the flaws in the business were fired (at least that’s what I heard after I quit). 
I believe I was the lowest paid full time employee at the time I was there. I had a 4 year degree and made less than $30,000 a year even after working there for over a year. You can get a raise but you’ll have to beg for it and take what little they give you in return. If you don’t work in the home office or you aren’t a manager don’t count on them ever knowing your name or caring about you in the slightest. You can work your hardest but if the owners don’t consistently see you working hard with their own eyes (when they’re actually there) then you will never get any recognition you deserve.  I hope things have gotten better since I left but because of the greed and lack of care from the owners I don’t think the business will ever meet its true potential. 

I applied for over a year to work at my home store. I've been a vendor for there for about a year and a half so I felt I was qualified. The manager was unsure about hiring me as they 'didn't like hiring vendors'. When a new local store was announced  I bought my third booth and I made sure to apply on the website, Indeed, and hand my resume to the manager. I was determined to get hired!

I couldn't ask for a better manager. She is absolutely incredible! The work environment is great - we have an awesome team at my store!

I really wish that corporate would communicate with each location. As a vendor I feel I am always left in the dark. 

The pay is very low. I have had issues with finding an apartment/room to rent because of this. You are not guaranteed hours which makes it harder. Most months I have to pay my landlord late because I don't get enough hours. 

Each location is different! I am in a few locations as a vendor where the staff aren't helpful and I am in a few locations where they are. 

I think the company has a long way to go but I am overall happy with its progress so far! Corporate really just needs to listen to the vendors and managers.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The job is very laid back most of the time except during the holiday season. It’s also a good way to meet new people through all the different vendors

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There is constantly something new you are always learning and there is a lot of things you have to memorize. It can also be stressful having to put items back during rush hour.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It’s a friendly environment and very positive

A typical day at work while i worked at Painted tree boutiques was, I’d walk in count the cash, complete all my opening tasks turning on the tvs cleaning here and there, putting down the mats, went to the back to get fresh water and lemon for the day. During my shift I would check People out and help costumers with any issue they may come across such as needing directions to a certain item or an item being out of stock.

I started as a shop owner and then a sales associate. 6 months later I was hired as the Store Manager. After proving my sales and customer service skills, I was given the opportunity to grow with the company. I ALWAYS felt the support from the home office that was needed to do my job. It is a fun job with an excellent company! 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part was the few vendors that were decent people 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Home office not backing up there own decisions 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Terrible, home office does not care and is only money hungry

Working here for the past, few years have been really simple for the most part. Just regular retail stuff mixed with helping vendors with any problems they had was easy.  Having very helpful crew members. made every task easier and made the work environment less stressful.

The staff and vendors are amazing. Corporate Office is a mess. They don't appreciate you and under pay at every level. You can do an amazing job but if you don't fit into their cookie cutter image and they don't like you for any reason, they will throw you under the bus. 

- very unreliable in some aspects of the job
- not a set schedule 
- management is not the best 
- not very organized in procedures and task
- some employees are very lazy and not kept track of, while getting same amount for someone who is doing all work
- not the greatest pay 

managers (and some employees) are always talking behind everyones backs. was nice at first untill you start hearing everyone gossiping. some vendors are nice while others will yell at you.
