where do i even get started? this job is awful, but has its moments. this is the most ill-run, disorganized company i have ever seen in my life. corporate works in an office together, but can't seem to communicate at all. two people will give you different instructions about the same thing, then when you ask who to follow, sometimes they literally just ignore you. most of the communication is them telling you that everything you do is wrong or you aren't working fast enough. if you don't already have depression, consistently feeling like your work is never enough (and having more demanded of you with no raise) will definitely give it to you. i worked at north east, and it was consistently unbearably hot in the store. internet never worked, so to conduct business we had to connect registers to our phone hotspots on OUR DATA. you will be consistently watched, also. every minute of the day. if you stop for a minute or two, they will tell you. you feel bad for standing, even if youve finished all your work. turnover is crazy, i saw my team change twice before i got to hire a whole new one. not worth the mental anguish to work here for pay that most places match (or exceed). store manager left, and i had to pick up the slack (and 6 day work week) with little training. that was generally confusing and couldn't get straight answers on if i would be promoted or not, i was just stuck in a loop of doing both jobs with no raise for a short time. my team was miserable when they brought in a new store manager, and it felt like they were looking up to me for guidance with her, which was a lot of pressure. all i could do was complain to corporate while i watched my store become further mismanaged. employees hours for the week were majorly cut at the end. one's hours got cut from 15 to 4, and that was just the breaking point for me because i couldn't do anything to help them but listen to the complaints. in store, the team is amazing. we kept each other sane (:

Starting in this company I was genuinely curious as to what I was getting myself into. Luckily, the environment is amazing, you get staff that are genuinely happy to be there and customers that are excited about the products.
Your typical day consists of replenishing the sales floor and putting the items the customers didn’t get to their designated place. When everything is replenished you can work on moving product around to see what sells better and faster. Overall, the job in itself is extremely easy.
Where the company needs a little bit of work is in its management. I was privileged enough to get promoted extremely fast and within the year I went from Keyholder to Store Manager. The issue was always lack of training. Based on my experience I was just left to figure things out and while I did a great job, I sometimes took the fall for other issues that I hadn’t received training for. Some managers definitely play favorites, by treating other stores in your district as favorites as opposed to working collectively as a team. Some micromanagement is also involved by one of the district managers to a point that sometimes things didn’t make sense.
The workplace culture is amazing but i would say it depends on your store. As a store leader, I want to say I did my best to listen to my team and make sure that they were happy and excited to come to work and help out with what they could. Never once did we ever feel overwhelmed by having to do everything in one day.
Ultimately, the hardest part of leaving was definitely the team and the relationships I’ve built with them. 
If you are on the fence, give it a shot. It’s a great place to work at and if you can get past some small issues, you’ll have a great time.

Working as a Store Manager at Miss A was one of the most challenging experiences of my career. The workload was overwhelming, and it was common to work 60–70 hours per week without adequate support from upper management. Expectations were constantly changing, making it difficult to prioritize tasks or create stability for the team.
The company frequently introduced new policies and procedures that often created more administrative work without improving store operations. Staffing issues were common, yet managers were still expected to meet aggressive goals with limited resources. Morale suffered as a result, and burnout among employees and managers was a constant concern.
Communication from leadership was often inconsistent, and there was little consideration for work-life balance. The culture felt reactive rather than supportive, with a heavy focus on metrics regardless of the operational realities in the stores.
My experience ended when I needed medical attention after contracting COVID. Despite years of dedication and long hours invested in the company, I did not feel supported during a difficult health situation.

I started working here as a seasonal worker in 2018, November-December. the work was pretty easy but very tedious. I would stock the same shelves and walls almost my whole shift because the ”asistant manager” would say it wasn’t good enough, the back room area where they keep all the beauty blenders and stuff was super unorganized and everyone would go back there and hide out in their phones The manager was really sweet at first but everyone else looked at me like they didn’t wanna invite me into the store environment and it was an already well established clique between the coworkers. I worked a few days, and on the last day I worked I wasn’t scheduled until the next week. So when I returned and clocked in I was questioned if I was even suppose to work and  I looked at them like duh? If I wasn’t scheduled I wouldn’t come in! So they called the manager on me and she told me I didn’t even work there anymore! I had no clue or idea and she claimed it was my fault and that I needed to leave the store immediately. It was so embarrassing and I wanted to cry so bad

They truly have no remorse for the conditions the girls have to work in which is not fair at all considering the dress code has to stay the same and corporate disregards the associates and management about fixing the ac etc.  They also make you seem less of or if you don’t know how to do the job. Yes, the job is very easy however when other associates and management come from other locations to help they definitely make you feel less of instead of coming to advice and help. In terms of managing your personal life and work it becomes a little hard because due to their lack of management and what would be best for the store they don’t really hire many associates so if you do have to take a day off or have an emergency they will not care. They might even let you go. Overall the store isn’t bad it’s just the way you get treated and lectured as if you’re the one doing wrong. I would not work here again. Nor would I recommend working here. The most enjoyable part of this job was meeting new faces and having some kind of good energy and vibes. 

When I was hired I was told it would be full time hours. The flyer for the position also said 8 hours days Monday to Friday. Everything was great at first. We built a great team who worked well together zero drama. Customers were happy, we were hitting goals. Suddenly upper management assumed we were stealing product harassing us and Micro managing every aspect of our roles. Would demand certain things, once those things were completed they would make us feel incompetent for doing it wrong when zero explaining took place. Meetings were pointless. They rolled out a new app to accept the trucks with only a flyer on how the app worked. AGAIN ZERO COMMUNICATION. zero respect. dropped my hours to 30 a week claiming that was now full time AFTER i was already hired at 40.  

It's not bad, but I won't sugar coat anything. I guess it depends on the location of the store. But the one I work at, North east mall in hurst. The corporate treats everyone horribly, including the manager. One little mess up and they cut your hours. Even though you take a 15, you can't even TAKE a 15 without them being on you about how long your break is. Your working every single second so the shifts may not be that long but at the end you will be very drained. They want everything to look perfect, but even if you do it the way they ask. They STILL find a problem and complain. And yet alone the store is extremely hot, so basically a sweatshop. I just feel like it's not worth the pay. At least for a sales associate there. 

Working at Miss A is super fun. It's a flexible environment with great people. I've been at Miss A for a little over 2 years, and I love my job. The owners and most of the managers are great. The job and product is super fun. I'm very grateful to be working here. 

The only bad part is the pay. It is just generally lower than most places for the same job, but it is a start-up company, so you have to keep that in mind.

The only advice I would give is to try and take care of your loyal employees before you hire new employees at a higher rate. It can be really upsetting to see the company hiring new employees at higher rates online when the older employees aren't being properly compensated.

BEWARE, there is no support and management will treat you very poorly. Management and even senior management are bullies who can not take criticism, and are extremely rude and judgmental. Turnover rate is incredibly high and staff walk out half way through shifts or work a shift and never show up again. Entire teams have quit multiple times. Management does not want to train and will write you up for mistakes. No accommodations made for people with closed availability and no work life balance. You’ll get one day off a week if you’re lucky. 

I started as seasonal then promoted to permanent sales associate/cashier. Management at my location was perfect. I enjoyed every moment I worked there. Constant customers of all ages. The pay is fair! One of the highest cashier gigs. Words of advice, be patient and pay attention to detail. You'll be working closely with many females so try and get to know everyones personality. Don't take anything personal. Retail can be very stressful so just make it through the work day as peaceful as possible.
