- All sales associates, including part-time and seasonal employees, received a quarterly bonus of at least 10% of base pay in 2021 and the first quarter of 2022, based on company performance.
- The Bright Ideas email initiative encourages all associates to share suggestions for improvement with company leaders, who respond regardless of whether an idea will be implemented.
- District leaders work in pairs and oversee an average of 10 store locations, which allows for frequent in-person visits and plenty of accessibility.
