Pros

-coworkers are great -mobility opportunities for global or national teams

Cons

-micromanagement to the nth degree -job mobility within the BU is very much determined based on likeability rather than job performance -what is right today, is wrong tomorrow -you cannot take PTO, no flexibility for appointments, no exceptions -underpaid to do the work of 2-3 people. Jobs are posted, but they do not hire for them

Pros

Benefits such as health/medical insurance

Cons

Massive company. I worked a couple different roles from the “corporate” side, even if I was in stores a lot of the time. One thing I learned is that the “office” or “corporate” roles don’t really have a day off. Sure, it’s a Monday-Friday job but it’s like regardless of what you do there, you’re on call in some way but there isn’t any sort of incentive in return. You’re likely not going to get a sufficient work-life balance working here, because, again, someone is going to be calling or emailing you on the weekend or in the evening where either you have to handle it, or pass it onto someone else who can. Lack of thorough vetting has resulted in unqualified leadership with challenging management styles that hurt daily team morale.
