Pros

Pay was generous for a part time retail job. Worked with some incredible people. Often felt like I was doing Good.

Cons

Acted like we were all a family, but then pushed us harder and harder each quarter as we had to show improvement, even as some people were far above expectations. Rules constantly changing, the best way to navigate the day was to know who to ask your question to so that the answer would be what you need done. A crazy number of managers competed to the number of regular staff members. "I'll look into that" with no follow up was a common occurrence.

Pros

We work with geniuses - in every department, We create innovative products that thrill our customers and create new product categories - who else can say that?

Cons

ZERO ZERO ZERO work/life balance. Execs have been saying for YEARS that they understand and will make it better. But in actuality, it gets worse every year! It is obviously top management LIP SERVICE because if they meant it, they could fix it tomorrow. They have hundreds of BILLIONS in the bank. If they REALLY cared about employee work/life balance, they could bring aboard the right number of folks to make that issue dissolve. Sick of hearing the lies. Just don't lie about wanting to fix it, when they clearly DON'T care
