Pros

Truly a company that cares about their people. Good work/life balance, good benefits, half and full day holidays and they recognize their employees in fun ways throughout the year.

Cons

Working across time zones is a challenge on the corporate side. Also, technology is a bit lacking compared to other retailers.
