Pros
Very poor educational support – about the only training provided was internal and not very good (and usually not technical). Their technology is lagging – a lot of this is due to the tight margins any retail operations runs under – even in a good eco environment. Very little management process / procedures, which they compensate by having lots and lots of unproductive meetings doing dog and pony shows (one positive to this, I got really good at powerpoint slides). If you have a disability, this is a company to avoid – a lot of paperwork that even the EEOC discourages in their policies – and they deny some disability accommodations that other companies do as a normal course of business for everyone (i.e., telecommute, or if you are in the office you are still allowed to call into a meeting bridge – as mentioned before, they are big on not just meetings, but physically being present regardless if you have anything to contribute or gain.)
