A really good customer focus, good solutions for securing customer satisfaction. Strong focus on culture and values. Flat structure and open communication in all levels.Great career opportunities.

Cons

Too much bureaucracy, using a lot of time on delivering reports that no one will use or read... Cost consiousness may be a bit extreme, difficult to reach goals and KPI's with unreasonable staff budgets.

Pros

There are some great, inspiring, and passionate people who work there, but none of them are in leadership positions.

Cons

Leaders aren't held accountable for KPIs or poor behavior. Decisions are made by forum/committee/council, so there is no clear ownership or guidance. The Service Office/HQ leaders look down on the store and fulfillment center teams, making decisions based on assumptions rather than taking time to understand the reality on the ground.
