Pros

Steady pay check. Health and dental benefits. 401K. Good discount on Perry Ellis products although nothing really interesting to buy but Penguin.

Cons

Toxic environments. The higher ups are frustrated and take out their frustrations on their employees. The people that they hire are not given the opportunity to learn and have the tools they need to grow and do good for the company. They hire you to do the work that they can't do and don't expect you to stay long and they treat you as such. Its an every man for himself situation. Take this job, by all means. But keep looking. This company is not growing or evolving and will eventually sink further into irrelevancy.

Pros

You can make some great friends that last a life time. Working weekdays only

Cons

Do not work in the purchasing!! Upper Management in this department favor certain employees and managers and allow them to get away things that are not allowed in the company. They give whoever they chose "special working hours" not giving everyone a fair opportunity. When you bring it to HR's attention nothing is done. They don't allow you to grow within the department or outside to another department , they will deny your request of they chose too . There's one manager that gaslights you, then tries everything in her power to get you written up or fired meanwhile she's watching her telenovela all day at work. Pay is below average and you will gets cents on a raise not dollars Too much Drama for one department Managers DO NOT keep things confidential if you speak to them about (something personal, raise, sickness or anything). A couple days later everyone will know your business.
