Pros

well-respected retailer, a very cost-conscious company, location (if you like New England), far better performance than its direct competitors, some opportunities for advancement

Cons

being that the company is cost-conscious, that sometimes means it "stiffs" employees in terms of benefits, bonuses, etc. Also, found the performance review process to be a "check the box" exercise, rarely was I given actionable feedback to become a better leader/team player

Pros

Discount was pretty nice to have

Cons

Management was changed very frequently that right when one person would finally get their system in order, someone else would be hired to take their place. Also the pay was really bad, like it only became 15 right before I was leaving.
