Pros

Great work environment, wonderful benefits, awesome employee perks!

Cons

Office politics and it's who you know in order to get a promotion....which turns into a popularity contest....whether they are qualified or not.....many great people looked over if not in the inner circle.

Pros

Wonderful coworkers, amenities at the Mary Kay Building, and overall a mostly pleasant place to work from a day to day perspective.

Cons

Senior management seems totally lost. Strategy is ever shifting, and seems based more on whatever management's current flight of fancy happens to be. Little to nothing has been done to address the very real long-term issues related to the business. There's a reluctance to meaningfully change or address systemic issues leading to an existential risk to the business. It's so bad, the former CEO is suing the current CEO for mismanaging the company. They are father and son. It's that bad.
