Pros

- Clean codebase - Honestly the people on the IT team are awesome - Very organized development cycle, although this can lead to excessive micromanagement for some teams - Good opportunities to be exposed to a lot of different technologies - Good work/life balance unless you are a contractor, then you are forced to work holidays or weekends...

Cons

- TOO MUCH POLITICS GOING ON HERE - Management sucks. Plain and simple. A certain manager has been out of development for years, yet tries to act like he's still a developer when he clearly is so far removed from the actual code and tech. You may be able to BS to the business team, but everyone on the technical side knows you're full of it. - They seem to have adapted a culture/mindset of hiring "cheap" and off-shore engineers instead of focusing on developing employees internally. - There is not much room for growth/promotions internally - Management on the IT side is honestly is so out of touch with the actual development process, yet they make all the decisions and don't listen to employee input, which in turn leads to poor execution of the business plan. - The employee discount is great, but pay is much lower than the average market rate

Pros

* If you have an amazing team and management the day goes by fast. * Commission. * Easy to rely on foot traffic to meet goals. * If you ask for growth, they set thing ups that align with what you want, you just need to ask.

Cons

* If its slow, its SLOW. * There can be drama, it just depends on the department you're in.

Pros

good pay, good retired tech/fashion prop sales, hour long lunches

Cons

terrible work environment with whole bunch of eating disorder talk and projection at models (even from some management), management makes everyone stay until 4:30 even when all the minimum work requirement (and oftentimes more) is done, they will write you up for something extremely small then dismiss a big thing from another employee, terrible communication between managers therefore terrible communication to employees, employees get publicly ridiculed when they're just asking questions even amidst the terrible communication issues that are already there,
