Pros

Salaries are competitive, benefits are decent, facilities are very good, work is challenging and interesting, coworkers are (mostly) friendly and competent with an outstanding work ethic, overall strategy is clearly communicated, and the grass is not always greener...

Cons

As with any large company there are turf battles, internal politics, information hoarders, leaders who have never spent time in the trenches, micromanagers, absentee managers, too much indecision, poor tacticians (so we know where we want to go but how do we get there?) and a communication gap at a personal level between just about the entire upper management team and anyone below VP level which can lead to rumors, gossip, and paranoia.

Pros

There are no pros to working for this company.

Cons

Low pay, grueling hours, unsafe and toxic work environment. The company does not offer opportunities for its sore employees to advance to the corporate sector; especially if you have a college degree. As a store employee neither you, your expertise and skill set, nor your ideas on how to improve workflow and company culture matter.
