Pros

Attracted very smart and talented people Strong and recognizable brand Competitive wages when bonus was paid out at 100% of target Great DEI programs (I had participated in a BIPOC women program) Access to large store of educational content via LinkedIn Learning and in-house programming (although having the time to complete them was a different story)

Cons

Poor executive leadership (note that I can only speak for People & Culture) lacking strategy and alignment, causing an incredibly negative ripple effect down to those tasked with implementing work Senior leadership was incredibly political with each head of division building empire vs trying to do the best for the company and employee experience So much time and money wasted with work efforts conflicting against and negating each other or farmed out to very expensive consultants that were not effective Long hours and hustle culture (speaking to my experience in Manager+ roles) Career opportunities were zero for remote workers (which is the reason for the 1/5 rating there)

Pros

The benefits with the sweaty Pursuits is good and the insurance is good too! You get a team that you get to put together and get to know them and see what works for you guys to be successful in a processing shift!

Cons

The nights are long and very overworked. They ask a lot from you and usually they put the business before you. It’s always we need this and that from the managers but not actually taking time to help or to actually see that we are trying our best and if they actually worked a shift with us and saw the struggles they would understand more. They think it’s easy, when the weight of the store depends on us. You are also qualified as a Guest Experience lead since you have to do both trainings so the management do over utilise that and you will be doing two jobs. Even though it says in the description to support the floor but there’s a difference between supporting from time to time and doing it all the time where you are running the floor and the back at the same time but they’ll say “oh why isn’t this done?” Maybe because you’ve told me to help you out ? The are also very selective about who moves up to be a manager. No work life balance at all!
