Pros

Surprisingly Great Access to Benefits. I opened up an HSA and had access to a company sponsored HDHP insurance plan, so it's a legit savings account. Well, they throw the food out at the end of the day, so if you buy anything while you're working there then you're making a mistake. Great work environment, like they can actually sell chocolate bars inside! -- What a bar.

Cons

Well, you can only stay there for so long. I found if you don't try out the deals then your particularly hurtful to customers, the caviot is the food deals are a waste of time. They'll work you if you try the stuff, so just don't try anything.

Pros

Successful Global Retailer due to scrappy leadership and teams. Plenty of opportunity to make a difference.

Cons

Company struggling with size and scale. BIG global company formed by acquisition - but integration is a big challenge. Process is not a strength, manual, scrappy workarounds make it "work". Lots of tech debt. WAY behind on data management. Senior Management finds it hard to spend for technology - and when they do, they focus on external, have not built the internal technical structure and understanding needed. Management can be very scattered, knee jerk reactions. Need a longer term view. New CEO does have a more focused style which will help.
