Pros

You get to interact with customers, and develop associates with fun stuff. Discount is ok, but prices are too high to start with.

Cons

Very poor middle management, poor integrity, playing favorites, and they can't make up their minds on what is important. Company tries so many new things that they never get good at anything. Resources are not available so reactive behaviors are the norm. If you still work there update your resume there are great jobs out there, and you can get your work life balance the way it should be. If you are looking to apply there I don't recommend it.

Pros

Corporate is 10/10. At a large company, every department is different but they value their customers and employees and offer great benefits. Rewarding to work there

Cons

Not much to say. Best employer I’ve had

Pros

- Unlimited PTO with 401k match is awesome

Cons

- Performance expectations were often unclear or inconsistently communicated, Feedback was reactive instead of timely and actionable. - Leadership quality varied dramatically by manager, with limited coaching or mentorship. - Constant shifting priorities without adjusting expectations or workload. - Psychological safety was lacking, Honest communication feel risky. - Leadership messaging around culture didn't match day-to-day reality. - Process was often valued more than impact or results. - Compensation well below market, w/little flexibility during negotiations. - I felt excluded from key conversations and opportunities that were important to my success.
