Pros

Very understanding of a work/life balance. People think it is strange if you work past 6 pm.

Cons

Not very good salaries. There seems to be a disconnect between what HR believes to be a good salary and what the rest of the world believes is a good salary. The excuse I always here is, well it's Pittsburgh, it has a lower cost of living. Whatever, pay me what I'm worth.

Pros

Private company. Lots of cash if you can claw your way to the top. Some people here make way, way more money than they are worth. I've heard that director level and above get a full annual salary bonus every three years if the company meets financial objectives + the 20% - 25% they get yearly.

Cons

It is a company full of people who started out in the stores. That may seem like a plus, but the majority of people are corporate are very unprofessional and lack any logical thinking. Because the pay for upper levels is so great, it causes quite a number of unethical decisions when it comes to setting a budget and then meeting it. There is lots of talk of diversity and I have specifically heard executives talk about diversity and its benefits out of one side of their mouth and then tell a racially motivated one out of the other side. People don't walk the talk.

Pros

Local, privately held company. Big company, with some small company benefits. Most of the people are pretty friendly to work with. The company does a good job of considering work-life balance.

Cons

The leadership talks about the right things but does not appear to be interested in changing the 'good ol' boys' culture that exists here. For young professionals, but the lack of career opportunites is very discouraging.
