Pros

Great benefits and decent pay

Cons

Terribe management, constantly making new rules and procedures that contradict existing ones. They put on a big production about listening to their employees, but have zero intention of truly hearing them. You are either management or the help. No team atmosphere. Zero room for advancement.

Pros

Beautiful campus, really smart employees, great team spirit, respectful, professional environment, great onsite gym and cafeteria. Good training and development opportunities. Good PTO, pay and bonuses are great.

Cons

Struggling to survive and reinvent itself after years of declining sales, management and strategy is constantly changing and the fear of being laid off is ever pervasive. I had a total of 10 bosses in 5-1/2 years which taught me flexibility and resilience, but it wasn't much fun. Lack of defined strategy, too many layoffs, too many really poor managers in high-level positions whose status is determined by politics vs. competency. It's great to align yourself with a leader to help your career grow, until a month later when they abandon the sinking ship and you're back swimming alone and trying not to sink. It was exhausting to work there.

Pros

-Coworkers are pretty cool. -Employee discount is alright. -Work isn’t too bad, but that depends on the time of year.

Cons

-Pay isn’t great -Management cares more about the customer than employees, to the point where they defend the customer from the employee. -Corporate doesn’t care about the employees, only sales. -Workload can be pretty large, depending on the time of year. -Management will sometimes ask you to work off the clock. -Company is sinking, and it shows.
