Pros

Great discounts and line of credit for employees. Most of the staff is friendly towards each other, and there does seem to be a good amount of room to move up in the company. Also I liked the HR website it was helpful and great for tracking sick time, and personal time off.

Cons

A lot of the people working there are still fairly young and tend to gossip a lot. Sometimes the management seemed to be disorganized and unsure of how to fix problems. Very strict about hours and not going into overtime, which most retail companies do. Management also tended to play favorites with the employees whom they were friends with or were their significant other.

Pros

I have a very empathetic and flexible manager. Although I do meet the requirement to be in office three days a week many others do not and don’t seem to suffer for it. My work can be challenging at times, but due to the slow pace of most things here I rarely feel overwhelmed.

Cons

This is, without equivocation, the most sclerotic organization I have ever been a part of. The management structure and reporting lines are inscrutable and even after 3 years I barely understand how my team fits into the larger picture. My job is a data role, and although getting access to data has improved somewhat, it is still one of my biggest blockers.
