Pros
You get 4 weeks of PTO as a new starter and go up to 6 weeks. So that is amazing. Most people in the company are decent and fun so going to work isn't dreadful. Decent wage but men in this company DEFINITELY make more than the women.
Cons
Since Covid, they have been preaching out the wazoo about "our culture" this and "our culture" that. That ISNT A REAL THING, SIMPLOT!" No one cares if we sit next to someone all day or work at home. It's been over a year and productivity HAS NOT gone down in any department so WHY are people being forced to return to an office that means nothing to at least HALF of the people there. Do you not understand how much happier people are when they don't have to drive to work and back, get up 2 hours early just to get ready and to work on time. Being able to do things at home on lunch breaks instead of just eating. The old white man mentality of CULTURE is complete bs. We all know it's so your precious building is full and you can control every aspect of our time with you. Another con... good luck moving up or even getting a new role in the space you're in. Typically it's all about who you know and not what you know.

Pros
Down-to earth co-workers. The benefits are pretty good and the company is flexible to work for. My favorite part has been the ability to be involved in projects across different business entities within the country. Although upward mobility strictly within my department is limited I do see many people move around in the company. After a recent aquisition/merger I felt that all the employees were fairly treated and the company really focuses on not downsizing.
Cons
Minimal international footprint compared to other companies. We seem to be a late adopter of new technologies and ideas. Sub-par work-life balance in retail. Lack of direction or clear strategy by management. Diversity in the retail side of the business seems pretty poor; within retail the vast majority are white males who grew up on farms. It's difficult to break into the culture if you're not from this group.
