Pros

Work life balance Avocado toast in the Cafetaria Summer Friday’s Flexibility in most groups to work remote

Cons

Very high turnover with corporate. You will see a revolving door of C level individuals. Teams lack direction. Decisions are made very slowly. Resistant to change. Lots of layoffs - when the company decides to do another organizational change, if you are impacted, you’re done. I have seen young staff be let go as well as individuals that spent 20+ years with the company. Very sad to see people so dispensable. Have seen seasoned deserving employees passed up for promotions while less deserving junior employees get promotions and outpace their seasoned colleagues despite lack of experience and expertise. Even their employee discount is a joke when most days they have a 40% discount off merchandise (+ another 10% if you have a gap credit card)... Behind the ball on technologies and systems. This company is for you if you are looking for more work life balance, and need a “break”- the work is easy. If you are looking to be challenged, to feel like your work has an impact and is valued or want to be promoted, stay AWAY.
