Pros

Cons

They have some good mottoes, like every company in the valley does, but when executing, these mottoes is poorly understood. Here are some common ones: "We move fast." - They focus on finishing things right and no one will take a step back and think about what's the right thing to do. "We are a lean team." - If you did not bow at every word of your boss they will for sure get rid of you. Your own idea will definitely be discouraged. "We care about business impact." - in sacrifice of personal growth and long term investment in technology. "We strive to meet the goals." - because they are struggling to meet their goals so day-to-day operations will be tedious and you will soon have burnout. "We are committed to deliverables." - This means being mediocre is required and middle managers will create explosive hacky projects hard to maintain. "We are one of the most innovative retail companies." - Well, compared to Sears, and JCPenny. "We are a tech company." - Pure joke. This company has everything a mediocre company has and everyone secretly knows something is wrong but chooses not to make ripples. It is certainly not for anyone who is ambitious and capable since you will soon feel discouraged, demeaned and unfulfilled. When I join the company, I was so excited about working here and to be honest, there are still some great teams to work with, but I soon found the work philosophy in my team is poisonous and every time I tried argue what's good for the company, I died a little from inside. I eventually quit when I found my efforts to fix it was pointless.

Pros

Can not think of any

Cons

The management are shocking. Been working at fanatics in Middleton UK for about 2 years. The place started of great but has gone so down hill. Management are awful and make you feel on edge. They look at the floor when talking to you. The pay is shocking for the amount of work you are expected to do. Staff are bullied by managers. Never ever get any good feed back. Get no incentives. The building is a million years old so it either extremely warm or very cold. Really not a great place to work, the place has made myself and also of work colleagues feel very unhappy.
