Pros

Great work life balance for a retail organization. Company is constantly updating which keeps things very fresh.

Cons

Reviews were not supported or detailed. You could easily get stuck in a position without knowing why you weren't being promoted even if you begged for the information. There was very little transparency. Candid conversations were rare. Popularity not ability dictated your career path.

Pros

-You will always be busy, most of the time, too busy.

Cons

-Terrible pay, no raises until August, which then it's $0.50. Big whoop. -Too high of expectations -Unrealistic work load, and again for little pay -They have to have a certain amount of employees, but then they have payroll limitations. I was told that was being "fiscally responsible". WOW. Totally backwards from what it should be and what they promise in interviews. If you have employees, use them. They overwork full time employees, which I had to beg for 38 hours, when I was promised 40 in my interview. -Beware

Huge internship program makes for a very fun summer living in the dorms downtown Milwaukee You actually perform work as a part of your team and help them by doing work and conducting 3 different projects Access to senior management Social/team-oriented atmosphere

Cons

Classes are a bit boring in the beginning Headquarters is a maze of gray cubes Gossip among employees Long process to get new ideas implemented (has to go through many levels of management) Lack of communication between departments
