      Pros

      Working in digital. Ability to actually ship features and enhancements on a regular basis. Highly talented UX team, who advocates for customer-first approach. Agile methodology. Exposure to cutting edge digital technologies. Great experience for short-term tour of duty, 18 months to 4 years depending on your team and manager. Ability to acquire in-depth understanding of retail business, pharmacy and health-care industry---core industries that will be around and are green pastures because of transformations due to telemedicine, digital in health and more. Top fortune company. Well-known brand. Now a global brand with opportunities to influence work streams with global counterparts.

      Cons

      Leadership focus is on moving the revenue needle and driving cost savings. Very poor talent management and no clear pathway for career development, even when demonstrating performance results, thought leadership and direct/indirect leadership of teams and others. Meritocracy is an illusion.... Dramatic changes in digital leadership and management. President/CMO and her EVP responsible for eCommerce, both digital and mobile, have departed. At least 15 digital leaders at Director level and above have left the company, and key digital talent at Sr. Manager and Manager bands who actually executed work have left. Recent IT lay-offs. Expect more attrition (bonuses have paid out) and some people to be managed out. Lack of diversity in senior leadership and management-level opportunities. This is typical and not too different from most fortune companies

      Pros

      Fast paced? Employees are fun to work with. You do learn a lot on the front end and pharmacy. Earned time off, vacation for management and team members

      Cons

      We'll there is a lot, it's a lot like 10 jobs to 1 person especially on a truck day! Your feet will hurt so bad when you leave; it's go go go go and don't stop. Sometimes you don't even get a break. Straight 8+hrs of complete chaos
