Pros

-Might meet some cool people -That's about it, work is easy

Cons

-Bad communications. Management will hide information from you and leave you completely unaware of what is happening -Schedule came out late very often (the worst is two days before the following workweek). You can request time off and still get scheduled for those days -you have to pay for parking and the company won't reimburse you -Managers told employees not to discuss their pay among their co-workers which violates Equal Pay & Opportunities Act -Managers often deliver messages verbally rather than any written notices so they can neglect responsibilities for their actions -Work is always supervised and overseen. They have security cameras set up to listen to employees conversations -Sexists comments make employees uncomfortable -Lots of promises on promotions. But non get it unless the managers like you -promotions are based on favoritism, not performance -Managers dictating things and treat staff poorly in front of guests -Basically, this is a decent part-time job if you are just there to get the money and get out. Not a great choice for a career path

Pros

- Decent base salary if this is your first job out of University. - Free Swag - WFH Fridays - Smart and helpful colleagues

Cons

- Incredibly stressful, do NOT take this job if you do not have a high stress tolerance. - A ton of competing priorities that almost always require quick/immediate action. - You get a ton of emails and are expected to be able to pull up and reference any of them at a moments notice. - Constant whiplash between doing deep, focused work (presentation/catalogs) that have a ton of details and require your full attention versus quick/rapid fire tasks that you must address immediately. There were days where I was working on one presentation all day and couldn't get it done because of how much I was getting pinged to resolve other issues. - To get promoted you must essentially do the job of 2 people (CSC and PSA). Beyond that, there is no real career progression unless you want to go into sales. - Management always says to raise your hand if you need help. But when you ask for help, there is always pushback in the form of others having more task hours than you. - CEO took away one of the WFH days. When Qualtrics had negative feedback he essentially said "If you don't like it - then leave". He is a "Do as I say, not as I do." type of leader. - Workload and responsibilities are not commiserate to the salary.
