Pros

This role is consistent with a buyer or merchant role at a retailer. To be successful you need to be comfortable with numbers, excel and be able to accurately hit financial targets in balanced/responsible ways. If you like interacting with others, projecting shopper interests, negotiating and staying busy this might be a good role for you. They have a good BRG program and inclusion team.

Cons

Though it has been discussed for years, there has never been implementation of a planned way to cover work of those that are on vacation or on leave so it falls to teammates. Those that are strongest or have the most knowledge are consistently handling more (or too much) workload compared to others. Very little career progression. Entry level and very seasoned professionals all have the same title while working at very different levels. The "Analyst" title in general needs to be reviewed as it is a catchall and not up to date. The attempt to create opportunities for progression are not sufficient and are biased in implementation.

Pros

They (management) can be reasonable at times, such as with your breaks and scheduling.

Cons

My current management isn't giving me enough hours to be even decently sustainable, yet they have open-shifts available that they could assign to anyone, so why not give those hours to people who are severely underscheduled? If you want your workers to work for you, treat them right and compensate them fairly, and stop expecting them to come in everytime you text them just because someone else called out, maybe you need to give the people who constantly call out less hours because they aren't being reliable, and you need to give more hours to the people who do come to work and get things done, because they've proven to be reliable and willing to come in on their assigned days.
