Pros

Most of the Buyers are very hardworking. Schedule flexibility and ability to work remotely within reason, New Manager is making an honest effort to improve department.

Cons

Not a team oriented atmosphere at all. Supervisors act as though they are above rolling up their sleeves during times of crisis. You’re expected to do your job and others. Buyers held to higher standard than any other department. Lots of unnecessary work. Pay is not competitive. Benefits aren’t comparable. If you leave the company before 3 years, you will not get the vested balance of your 401k. Also they will not tell you that your 401k will not be paid out until a week after your final paycheck which can be up to 3 weeks after your separation.

Pros

Unlimited vacation is a perk.

Cons

The company has serious cultural and leadership issues, particularly around accountability for inappropriate conduct. There have been significant concerns regarding a senior global employee’s behavior, including inappropriate sexual relationships with employees across multiple countries and concerns about misuse of position, influence, and company resources to support his behavior. The fact that these concerns were reportedly allowed to continue raises serious questions about the company’s commitment to "safety". Reporting concerns to HR was not viewed as an effective solution. A workplace cannot maintain trust when employees believe power and position can shield predatory behavior. Employees should also be aware that compensation expectations may not align with reality. Bonuses that employees work toward throughout the year will not be paid out as expected, and communication around these decisions has been unclear and last minute. Overall, leadership has appeared disorganized, unqualified, inconsistent, and lacking direction.
