Pros

Terrific benefits package good 401K plan were well treated if you were a "favorite" good training opportunities for mid level management good employee discount

Cons

had to work hard to have upper level management recognize team members a distinct line between the "cool" managers and "uncool" - very juvenile management culture employees were belittled behind closed doors assumptions were made about peoples' worth and work volume based on arbitrary numbers ideas funneled up to upper level management were not considered until they "became" the manager's or director's ideas many of the managers/supervisors were under educated. Some lied on their resumes to get positions and "favorites" were often played for promotions Some upper level management members were extremely egotistical

Pros

Have met some amazing coworkers. Brand itself is fun.

Cons

Sudden Return to Work mandate 3 days in NY or OH SIX years after COVID. Any current employees outside of those states are being let go if they don’t uproot their lives and relocate. Many employees in those states built their lives around what seemed to be a permanent remote flexibility arrangement (most companies went back in 23). When Hillary Super came on she even stated in one of her first Q&A’s on remote work that where people do their jobs wasn’t a big concern for her as long as we continued to drive the business forward. The business is doing the best it ever has in the last five years. Leadership reasoning for mandate is continuing to fall flat. Mandate came absolutely out of NOWHERE.
