Pros
Pretty decent salary Nice location Looks good on resume Get to work with some really smart people (doesn't mean they can manage well though) Depending on the category, the product samples can be quite nice
Cons
1) The expected work hours are insane and I'm not just talking about the 'holiday push'. I actually worked 70+ hrs for 6 months straight and that still wasn't enough really. Most of the categories are severely understaffed. The strategy seems to offer slightly higher than average salaries but require staff to do the work of two people! 2) Management is worthless. While I can say that most managers I met were incredibly bright people, I can say that almost all of them have ZERO people management skills. 3) MBA recruiting process is a joke. They had the gall to completely change the program AFTER everyone had accepted offers. 4) Benefits are horrible compared to competition.
