Pros

Generally nice people; great brands; charitable initiatives throughout the company; opportunities to learn

Cons

Everyone is working in fear of the continuous layoffs that have been going on for the past two years. The company is cheering how well they are doing as they simultaneously layoff employees who have been there many years. Staff cuts mean people are working extremely long hours and are burnt out. Even departments that used to have a good work-life balance no longer do. Leadership and team communication depends entirely on the brand/function you work in.

Pros

Great management, people leaders! Friendly environment, reasonable expectations.

Cons

Not many cons. It would be nice to have more of a set schedule but I know that's not realistic in careers that are sales based.
