Good Place To Work - If You Fit The Mold

Pros

- Treat their employees very well: Generous discounts, nice benefits package - Ethical company - Beautiful offices - Friendly co-workers - Culture of promoting from within / lots of opportunities to transfer - Best product offerings / presentation compared to competitors

Cons

- It's very subtle, but one of the unwritten rules (if you want to advance) is to "look the part"/dress like their target customer. If you're heavier, older, or aren't willing to really invest in your wardrobe, you may have a tough time fitting in. - Base pay isn't the best - Have to be aggressive/vocal to get noticed/succeed - Women employees in many departments vastly outnumber the men - Very political in who gets promotions - With a few notable exceptions, managers are not going take a lot of time to train you, much less mentor you
