Pros

I had really great coworkers to suffer with (suffering together is easier than suffering alone I guess!)

Cons

Complete disorganized mess. Managers had no idea what to do, the turnover was so high (coworkers and management) because the state of the store was so bad. When I left they didn't even know how to do a proper exit interview - I just walked out. After 10 years you'd think they want to know why you're leaving, but I guess because they know how bad it is they don't want it on record. The company used to be exciting to work for and over the years the benefits kept getting stripped away, the morale only gets lower, and they find more ways to make you do more with less pay.

Pros

I have a very empathetic and flexible manager. Although I do meet the requirement to be in office three days a week many others do not and don’t seem to suffer for it. My work can be challenging at times, but due to the slow pace of most things here I rarely feel overwhelmed.

Cons

This is, without equivocation, the most sclerotic organization I have ever been a part of. The management structure and reporting lines are inscrutable and even after 3 years I barely understand how my team fits into the larger picture. My job is a data role, and although getting access to data has improved somewhat, it is still one of my biggest blockers.
