Pros

Pay and benefits, including merchandise discount, were very nice. Good looking offices with affordable and varied cafeteria offerings. Depending on your job functions, you may have the opportunity to travel. Opportunities and programs to learn and increase skillsets within the company were easy to access. Company often treats employees to seasonal occasions that are well decorated, well catered and occasionally give away freebees.

Cons

The instability of this company's future is currently causing turmoil within the work environment. The prospects of anyone's job remaining creates a climate of fear of eliminations as the company has undergone several rounds of layoffs within the last few years. As a result, reorganizations occur often and without notice, leaving many vulnerable to working with new teams and individuals. This can cause tension with competing outlooks and preferences, particularly from those with leadership roles. Be cautioned: This company is currently at an unstable juncture.

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.
