Pros

Salary is great...more than any other retailer out there. You can do anything you want to in the company. Possibilities are endless. Also great health benefits.

Cons

Threatening environment from upper management, lack of respect for the individual, if you are not a "favorite" you will have a target on your back. Upper management doesn't seem to care. They visit, threaten your job and then leave. Told you have to work your days off..even if you have plans with family. No one to talk to about issues for fear of retaliation. When executives visit, we are told to put on the "dog and pony show" and talk about how happy we are. Seems as though they want to get rid of all the long termers and hire newbies so they can pay them less.

Pros

At the corporate level, the benefits and compensation are excellent. Colleagues at the producer level are standout teammates, talented, collaborative, and genuinely invested in the company's success. They consistently bring forward meaningful contributions and make the day-to-day work rewarding.

Cons

"Chaos" is not a word I'm using loosely. It's the word echoed across teams, including outside of Experience and Product. Leadership operates in a constant state of upheaval: frequent role changes, structural reorganizations, and strategy pivots that are implemented without any clear plan or consideration of cross-team impact. Incredibly talented people are let go as a result of poor leadership and people management decisions. There is no real culture of mentorship above the senior manager level. Leadership above the senior manager level made clear that mentorship isn't their responsibility and that you're expected to figure it out on your own, despite the company having training resources available. That disconnect is telling.
