Pros

Good pay, experience isn't necessarily required. You can usually move across different departments. Lots of days off for holidays.

Cons

If you plan on working in corporate, it's a lot easier if you're male and Orthadox Jewish (Chasidish is preferred). Otherwise don't bother trying to get promoted to management if your department doesn't already have women in it. Managers tend to get very upset if you talk to people in other departments. Especially if you're female. Dress code is strictly enforced and is done in a very disrespectful manner. Supervisors are expected to keep tabs on how long every woman's skirt is and reprimand them if it doesn't strictly adhere to the rules. Depending on your department, get ready to keep a very, very close eye on the precisely 30 minute lunch breaks. Supervisors log your times and you'll get in trouble if you go over. The downside of not requiring prior experience is that managers often don't know how to manage well. They'll give you a large workload, sympathize when you say there isn't enough time to get all of it done but then come back around and then criticize you later for not getting all of it done.

Pros

Excellent coworkers with a good sense of camaraderie. Long breaks due to mandated Jewish holidays. Small benefits for discounted store purchases and occasional free lunches. Layoffs are virtually unheard of.

Cons

Abysmal flexibility and work/life balance. Unremarkable compensation. Utterly incompetent leadership from the very top to middle management. Convoluted and unclear team structure. No clear path to career growth. Religious and gender discrimination and nepotism. Suspicious and childlike treatment of all employees. Inadequate time off policies (no sick days or personal days, only 3 weeks of PTO a year). Absolute disdain for any remote work. Many Hasidic employees display poor interpersonal skills and struggle to communicate politely in English. Conflicting and nonsensical messaging from leadership. A tendency to punish every employee for the misdeeds of individuals, rather than allowing managers to manage.
