Pros

The employee discount is 25% off most full price things except for firearms and ammo and a few other things.

Cons

Full timers only get between 33-38 hours a week, usually mid 30s. Part timers can get between one and three shifts a week typically. Everyone I work with who isn't retired or a high schooler living at home has to work a second and sometimes a third job to make ends meet.

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.
